I do not hold YOU responsible

Dear Male of the Species,

You stand

Head low

Ashamed beyond measure

I do not hold YOU responsible

You stand

Fists clenched

Angry at your helplessness

I do not hold YOU responsible

You stand

Wondering why

Irritated with your gender

I do not hold YOU responsible

You stand

Blaming yourself

Wishing for things to change

I do not hold YOU responsible

You stand

Waiting to steal back time

Wanting to snatch that moment

I do not hold YOU responsible

You stand

Protecting us

Being the change

I do not hold YOU responsible

You stand

By our side

Teaching us to protect ourselves

I do not hold YOU responsible

You stand

Burying your head

Offering solace from within even when you are without

I do not hold YOU responsible

You stand

Now wishing fairytales were true

Wanting to be…

Knight in shining armour

Sweeping us away from the horror

Prince Charming

Banishing evil and saving us

Woodcutter

Cutting open the wolf and baring him to the world

Huntsman

Feeding the poisoned apple to evil itself

Frog Prince

Kissing it all alright

Beast

Loving tenderly, waiting long and keeping innocence intact

Pied Piper

Leading the scum of the earth to their fate and virtue whereit belongs

Genie in the lamp

Making true those three wishes

Genie in the ring

Being the guiding light

Fairy Godfather

Always making us feel like the princesses we are

Guardian Angel

Using the needle of your compass to sew up our broken hearts

Piggy who built his house of bricks

Making sure no huff or puff can ever blow us away

Or maybe even the glass slipper

Revealing the beauty and the true identity of a woman

You can’t stand it no more

You don’t know how to be strong

You don’t know what to do

I do not hold YOU responsible

Your support helps us find balance

Your voice speaks volumes

Your tears mean more than you’ll ever know

You’re not broken just bent

You are NOT part of THAT species

That must only destroy, maim and slaughter

I do not hold YOU responsible

So,

Stand

By our side

Head held high

Protecting from within and without

Taking your place

To heal

To have

To hold

Innocence

Virtue

Purity

I do not hold YOU responsible

I hold you CLOSE

I will not hold YOU responsible

As you give me that sense of safety

That I only get from within myself

I, SIMPLY, CANNOT HOLD YOU RESPONSIBLE

Pas a Pas se va luènh

Sometimes heaven is...

Sometimes heaven is just a night out chilling with friends, sipping on some beer under the moonlight

Sometimes heaven is just listening to stories

Sometimes heaven is listening to stories of real people and real incidents

Sometimes heaven is a bike ride at 2 a.m. with the wind in your hair

Sometimes heaven is a blowjob from the wind

Sometimes heaven is a bowl of Maggi noodles

Sometimes heaven is the sunrise on your face when you wake up in the morning

Sometimes heaven is the moonlight on your face when you fall asleep at night

Sometimes heaven is a dance beneath the stars

Sometimes heaven is lying in someone’s arms

Sometimes heaven is watching over someone while they sleep

Sometimes heaven is playing Need for Speed

Sometimes heaven is searching for music

Sometimes heaven is nothing but a smile

Sometimes heaven is putting a smile on someone’s face

Sometimes heaven is a hug

Sometimes heaven is giving a hug

Sometimes heaven is a simple I Love You

Sometimes heaven is a book

Sometimes heaven is a glass of liquid sunshine

Sometimes heaven is high heels and a short skirt

Sometimes heaven is a lesson well learnt

Sometimes heaven just walks on by

But always, always, heaven is you…

Pas a Pas se va luènh

Invaded

Invaded

Taken

Innocence Tainted

Broken

A spirit muted

Controlled

Locked inside

Raided

Robbed of virtue

Wrecked

Reality altered

Damaged

Left for dead

Shattered

Soul fragmented

Maimed

Brutally torn apart

Exposed

Bared open

Naked

Alone amidst the throng

The Girl Who Lost Her Smile

After many years, the words have finally made themselves to paper. What started many years ago as just the last verse, slowly but surely took shape. The heart speaks slowly and the soul...slower... finally...here's... the girl who lost her smile... ;) (P.S. - Read verses on the left and then the ones on the right ;)) you can also download the image after enlarging it and right clicking...
