"I was born with an enormous need for affection, and a terrible need to give it."
-Audrey Hepburn Muse: November 9, 2009
written by Marini Barika Facey Shallow men are casualties of my almond shaped eyes. Naive men are casualties of my beauty and smile. Desperate men are casualties of my gentleness. Foolish men are casualties of my humor and wit. Lustful men are casualties of my charm and deceit. Respectable men are casualties of my popularity. Honest men are casualties of my truth and wisdom. Loyal men are casualties of my love and submission. But you... You! See... right... ...through me! Your cunning soul has a firm hold, you are charming! Your gentle heart takes control, you are disarming! Your piercing eyes gaze deeply into my soul, and that... that... ...is alarming! Irony smiles and stokes this fire and embers of desire burn. I rise and fall at your hands like an orchestra that follows the conductor's commands. I rise and fall in your hands like a puppet on strings who is forced to endlessly dance. Irony laughs and pokes this fire and embers that never tire burn.You seep deeply into me like honey, and steep in the hot springs of my heart... I am drawn to the jagged rocks at the edge of your soul. I am a casualty of your power, strength so subtle. For you I desperately thirst, and dive in headfirst. I am crushed... ...and violently drown! Your blue eyes cascade against my heart and my washed up remains, wash up on shore. All the men who knew me before, casualties of my war, gaze in wonder and awe! They juxtaposed my glory and weakness, and marveled at my vulnerable state. Yet I did not see them! I was trapped in the illusions painted by your blue skies. All I saw was you! I was caged in the mazes woven by your blue eyes. Even when my sky was painted gray, it seemed as if the sun was illuminated. You told me once to look at the stars, because they're also casualties strung to a Muse's heart! “I would like to be remembered as someone who accomplished useful deeds, and who was a kind and loving person. I would like to leave the memory of a human being with a correct attitude and who did her best to help others.”
