refinement and grace
holding but
an illusion of love
Mamka
the highest geisha
meaning artist
in their overly decorated
hearts
a perfect surface
after all
is all that matters
a mere emblem of
sensuality's history
'The Geisha House'
once all male
quite twisted today
to imagine
the embodiment of
silence is virtue
true Geisha do not marry
subtle body language
is key
a conscience choice
held to the highest order of self
breathing pale bodies
works of live moving art
rented by the hour
as entertainers of men
swaddled and waddling
beneath the clouded misperception
of prostitution
while traditionally domestic
they were rather dowdy women
in their prime
with simple hair styles
and reserved adoration aplenty
they wooed from the
confines of their carefully constructed
serenity and demure, quiet composure
the air of the mysterious
their staunchest alley
to observe.....................
