Poker Face

She yields
Not because she is weak
But because she is powerful
She relinquishes control
Not because she is delicate
But because she is robust
She kneels
Not because she is tractable
But because she is restive

She seeks the solace
Granted by subservience
She finds herself renewed
Through humility
She juxtaposes her vibrancy
With a gentleness
Revealed only to those
Who inspire its exposure
From beneath her vivid
Veil of pertinacity
