Divinity

She is.
The one who hunts.
Tirelessly, with hope.
She seeks.
The dream she begot,
From her womb.
She lives.
Nourished by her desires,
Cheated and betrayed.
She asks.
Will you help her,
find what she lost?
She tells.
Nay, stolen when blind,
For a bargain now.
She demands.
To name a price,
With nothing to give.
She offers.
Her word,
A vow forever.
She warns.
Of a battle,
bloodshed and tears.
She bequeaths.
Her life,
For your alliance.
She trusts.
Your promise,
Shred of naivety.
She pleads.
For her innocence,
And nothing more.

If you haven't already, you ve got to hear: She's always a woman

It starts like:

She can kill with her smile,
she can wound with her eyes,
she can ruin your faith
with her casual lies...

oh! that's very similar!

haha, i was just struck with a thought. it's amazing how many poems/songs/sonnets are written about a woman, her beauty and her characteristics. but i don't think i've ever come across a lot of those for men.

i wonder how that would sound...

\/ said...

Maybe coz women are never expected to be loud about their feelings for someone.

Men are lauded too, but not as poems/songs, but as stories of their bravery, their deeds.

Zephyr said...

very true!

but i guess i was thinking more of a delicate manner in describing a man by a woman.

perhaps when he would take care of a child as a caring father, or wipe the tears of one he loves... things like that.

\/ said...

Yeah... that seems rare, and somehow out of place, or maybe behind locks, hidden.

Maybe men don't want to be pictured that way.

One place I can see this possible is if it comes from a daughter for her father.

Zephyr said...

yea, the portrayal of men as always being macho.

oh our society and stereotypes!

\/ said...

+1

but zephyr can take her own course... lets see how stereotypes fair against her :)

Zephyr said...

as is always the case: i makes my own stereotypes. hahha :)

Although one guy is very popular, famous and highly sought after in songs, poetry, sonnets, stories; in romance, in philosophies and even in many stories:

Chaand

Zephyr said...

hmm, i was under the assumption that it was mostly labeled a 'she'.

unless there rly is a guy named chaand that i'm unaware of...

\/ said...

really ?

chandaa maama duur ke...

aye chaand teri chaandni i kasam...

see the full moon, well look at its face..

hehe :)

Zephyr said...

lol yea, but then they also compare it as chaandni and how it has marks, and the girl doesn't. just very contradictory!

 

About Me!

To escape from the humdrum existence people call "life", I explore the jungle of my mind. A meandering path, with thoughts as my obstacles. I put aside the smiling face of my mother, snapshots of holidays with friends, lost memories of my childhood... All in an attempt to find answers to my branching questions.
