~Ode To Men~
By Mistress Shadow
Blessed are the men you can touch,
but cannot call your own;
they are the ones whom will paint a smile on your face
but will never be close enough to hurt you.
Blessed are the ones who can stick fingers to their lips to create absurd
catcalls;
they are the ones who reassure every woman
that her effort for beauty has not been in vain.
Blessed are those who chase women with words unconditionally,
despite rejection;
they are the ones who gain nothing, give what seems like nothing,
but truly rebuild self-esteems.
Blessed are pretty boys at odd corner
for they are the ones who allow women to dream and to hope.
Blessed are the ones who grow from failed attempts;
they are the few who do not end up alone.

blessed be those who can find something valuable, even optimistic, in the seemingly base or somewhat commonplace, and can convey such sentiments with class and grace... thanks!
