If humans are a work of art
Then women are by far the masterpiece
There is none like them
And there never will be
When she loves...
She loves in a manner no one ever can
When she gets angry she displays it in a manner only she can
She multi-tasks so effortlessly
She gives a proper meaning to our lives
She supports us through every thick and thin
She fights for us when the need arises
She completes us from every aspect of our lives
She is the personification of sacrifice
The epitome of love
The embodiment of resilience
The symbol of hope
She doesn't want diamonds or rubies
All she wants is that you love her,value her,respect her and support her
She just wants some of your time
She just likes to be made to feel special every now and then
She just wants to be appreciated every now and then
She is a mother,a grandmother,an aunt,a sister,a cousin,friend,girlfriend or a wife
Treat her well
For without them you are nothing
Without them no home is complete

A big thank you to women all over the world
We men would be nowhere without you in our lives
If not for women then
Whom would we dream about?
Whom would be woo?
Whom would we write poems about?
Whom would we write songs about?
When i read or hear stories of crimes and discrimination against women...it just saddens and angers me.I hope and pray that such horrible things stop.

Miles of road ahead of her,
With miles and miles behind.

Exhausted from the journey,
All aid and kindness declined.

Clouds above get darker,
Where once the sun shined.

On and on she will travel,
Until all becomes aligned.
It stood on a throne,
Made out of lime stone.

It was clothed,
In colorless gold.

It wore a shadeless crown,
Above its brow.

Its heart was frozen-
From winters night.

Its soul was diced,
by Jack Frost's knife.

It stood alone,
In its quite abyss.
Dismissing my stare.

Though it was free,
It looked lost at sea.

For, I waited to hear a plea,
But it was silent as a willow tree.

Time passed-
And it started to bow

To the brown earth beneath its feet,
To the blue sky above its crown.

Though, the journey was over,
And the final Goodbyes were made.

I could never forget the pride in its eyes,
Or why it stood so still.

For to this day,
I question if I'll every discover,
If the White Rose knew,
Of its wonder?

Poem goes as such if you can't read fancy words loll...

Title is -hidden betwixt the thicket, lies the eye's of the tribesmen.

Bygone tribesmen
Hidden betwixt the thicket;
Eye's piercing like midnight panther's
Their feathers, colorful, rigid.
They seeith the invader's
Coming upon their shore's,
Their frightened of the metal
And helmet's of hell's storm.
The drum circle stop's
The men and women stop dancing,
The fire burneth low,
As tis none time for romancing.
The European death bringer's
Trample sacred ground,
The ghosts of old
Indian souls, march with the living tribesmen
To shaman sound's.
Desecration hath begun
The blood hath been spilt.
Innocent natives, of their own homeland,
*****, plundered in filth.
Thou canst still heareth the Cry's of the babies and women,
As I canst heareth the shaman who's buried in his tomb,
Playing his flute aloft heavenly ceilings.
As tis the after-effects canst be seen from aforetimes,
The waters yellow, breathing is shallow, fires art burning the mountain's and Meadows, from those rich men with tin-metal hat's; as tis they sought a new order, as the shaman prophesied of the ****** of their warrior's and daughter's, as they sawest a new world order, coming even at that time.
