man coiled in menses
a journey has commenced
something that can be sensed
as lining breaks she aches
she wears my shirt to pacify pain
my scent gives her solace
I bestow myself to her
placing pillows for her comfort
she lies her head gently
as the drums invade to serenade
her temporary visitor
tracing the outlines of her face
in attempt to place her in stillness
she rises and kisses my lips
while I persist to soothe her pain
I watch it drain her essence
slowly I bleed too
she shows concern for me
in plight and still
she takes flight for my rescue
I am nature and she is nurture
something that can be sensed

she wears my shirt to pacify pain
my scent gives her solace
I bestow myself to her
placing pillows for her comfort
she lies her head gently
as the drums invade to serenade
her temporary visitor
tracing the outlines of her face
in attempt to place her in stillness
she rises and kisses my lips
while I persist to soothe her pain
I watch it drain her essence
slowly I bleed too
she shows concern for me
in plight and still
she takes flight for my rescue
I am nature and she is nurture

This is well written with such a beautiful credence to give a sentimental honor to us, women who is preoccupied several days out of a month of inconvenience.. and by all means, good luck in the competition my poet

Appreciated Sweet. I'm glad you commented, I was feeling nervous about entering or even posting this. I can appreciate a voice appreciating my appreciation. From the heart, thank you.

No.. you've earned that a praise, and I admire the way, some men not all, turn up the gratitude with understanding during that time, of the month and raise the bar on intimacy. In my native country and contrary to the belief we are not permitted to sleep in the same bed with our husband, or in my case, my significant other; it is considered for us, meaning women to be warranted as unclean. In American.. thank goodness it is more liberated. Just a little information worth sharing, please enjoy your evening as well my poet

Seems like you have captured a very tender moment. I do want to mention some parts even though this piece as whole is amazing.
"in plight and still
she takes flight for my rescue"
it goes well with your title.
The whole 2nd stanza is amazing. I love it.
Best wishes on the competition entry.

Hmm woah an extraordinary title, i like unique topics. Its nice to know that in other cultures too men can just soothe and provide comfort during the painful monthly cycle days as we thought in other cultures men seek just pleasure even on painful days.
This is a sublime great poem of admirable care and comfort to a love. Kudos!!
Plz do just read my newest poem too, don't take the trouble to comment , as it has enough comments
