A Quiet Woman

A Quiet Woman - The Poem

All I want is a quiet woman by my side

he said

At the age I am

all I want is a quiet woman

He was looking at me

I think he missed the mark

if he thought I was the one

To me thoughtful doesn't mean quiet

A quiet woman - I pondered the phrase

Well, the opposite is not me either

I'm not the long-legged beauty

Dancing with the Stars

or the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo

or the diva of the opera

I'm a secret plot

a fortune

from the bright darkness

of which we are all made
