Vulva
The vulva (from the Latin vulva, plural vulvae, see etymology) consists of the external genital organs of the female mammal. This article deals with the human vulva, although the structures are similar for other mammals.
The vulva has many major and minor anatomical structures, including the labia majora, mons pubis, labia minora, clitoris, bulb of vestibule, vulval vestibule, greater and lesser vestibular glands, external urethral orifice and the opening of the vagina (introitus). Its development occurs during several phases, chiefly during the fetal and pubertal periods of time. As the outer portal of the human uterus or womb, it protects its opening by a "double door": the labia majora (large lips) and the labia minora (small lips). The vagina is a self-cleaning organ, sustaining healthy microbial flora that flow from the inside out; the vulva needs only simple washing to assure good vulvovaginal health, without recourse to any internal cleansing.
The vulva has a sexual function; these external organs are richly innervated and provide pleasure when properly stimulated. In various branches of art, the vulva has been depicted as the organ that has the power both to "give life" (often associated with the womb), and to give sexual pleasure to humankind.

The Dead
Is it wise to come to me
To guide you spiritually
Dead eyes stare back from the void
Reflecting what I see
I am the key that locks the door
The link between the worlds
Take my hand
Dare to walk with fire
Let the dead rest in peace
Step aside leave them be
Let the dead rest in peace
Sacrilege, final sleep
I am here to satisfy
Your curiosity
If you think it's worth the risk
To be stuck with me
There are things you cannot see
That's why you come to me
Take my hand
Dare to walk with fire
Let the dead rest in peace
Step aside leave them be
Let the dead rest in peace
Sacrilege, final sleep
Was it wise to come to me
To guide you spiritually
Your dead eyes stare back from the void
Now you're stuck with me
Let the dead rest in peace
Step aside leave them be
Let the dead rest in peace
Sacrilege, final sleep
Let the dead rest in peace
Step aside leave them be
Let the dead rest in peace
