I doubt that even now you've understood with what sly satisfaction I spoiled you for other women, and with what regret I paid, time after time, for that, or with what controlled and calculated rage a woman can perform the act of love.
Any ideas, I have to admit I'm lost. If there are any need english geniuses and english professors and other people good at finding the meaning of this poem Thanks.

Whoever wrote this 'poem' was an angry woman, angry at the person she wrote it for. She was so angry that she used the act of love, the bedding as it were, to do everything she could to please the man there and so "spoil" him for "other women," who she thought couldn't match her skills.
She writes that she did this over and over again, with regret for her own sly self each time... and with "cold and calculated rage."
This woman was fierce, vengeful, and using a tool most don't, "the act of love," the one done in bedrooms. She hates the man she did that with so much that she doesn't think he'll ever even understand her satisfaction at spoiling him for others, or the payment it cost her to perform "the act of love" with such "rage": the "regret" -- indeed a contradiction in terms. Satisfaction, love, regret, calculation and rage. Nasty.
I wouldn't want to know such a woman; her trickery, selfishness and rage make her a real danger to at least one man, if not more.

Well I'm not too sure but here's what I think it's about....
This woman is infatuated with this guy and wants him only for herself so somehow she warns other women away from him.. Then she realizes how wrong she was to do this and uses this poem to apologize and explain herself. So basically she realizes that if they were meant to be then she should have let true love take its course rather than intervene. She then says,
"or with what controlled and calculated rage a woman can perform the act of love."
meaning that love drives us to do crazy things.

The poem is proper to the interconnectedness of being: an identical existence interior the poet's bloodstream is to be present in transforming into issues, interior the rhythms of the sea (which themselves replicate the rhythms of existence and dying), and interior the historic past of existence in the international (that's the meaning of the final 2 lines). Technically, the poem is written in unrhymed unfastened verse. The be conscious 'existence' is utilized in each stanza besides simply by fact the call, indicating the centrality of the assumption, and the subject of rhythm is in an identical way repeated throughout the time of.

This is an unfortunate 'manhater' who has used her gender to its highest capacity to destroy a man's free will. All women have such a capacity since women are necessary to the continuance of mankind. Because a man in her experience first injured her and warped her capacity to love and nurture, she rebels against her nature and becomes that which all men fear most. Even a male grizzly does not attack or fight an angry female. 'Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned', is another way of saying this woman's words. I am a woman; I know this destructive force from within my own darkest desires. I am grateful to have found nurturing to appease them else I could easily have become like she. Some small part of her recognizes that her vindictive revenge upon this man injures them both so in destroying him with his desire for her, she destroys herself by becoming his "keeper".

I doubt that even now you'd understand how I would spoil your own education if I were to give you the answer. It is with regret that I will not supply you that which you already know. I perform this act of femaleness only to help you.
Please think about the words. Not all women feel this way.

She's crazy. She thinks that she was so good that you'll never enjoy another woman, she's sorry about it, it's an example of how love can be used as a weapon. Phoenix Quill's answer above was right on the money.

I'm gonna guess that this man/woman went out with a bunch of other women to get one specific woman to be jealous. Once he finally got this woman, he regretted every other woman he was with. I'm gonna guess his present woman found out and got really pissed.

What an eloquent, insightful & passionate poem.
The most important thing to know here is that it was written by one scary b1tch.
Stay the hell away from the author or any girl who says she can relate.

It is an expression of negativity which indicates the existence of powerlessness.
Might just as well be the "F" word with an exclamation point.
You're welcome! Cheers!
