Looking at a Woman

An Escape from the Past.

By AAshesPublished 3 years ago 1 min read

Start at her feet

Placed delicately,

one in front.

Her lead, passively,

bent at the knee.

Her support, shadowing her figure.

In line, minimizing.

The curve of her calf,

accentuating,

The blossom of her hips.

Carefully supporting her Voluptuous…

Her face, a blank space.

Her voice the void.

She calls my name

All I hear is my claim.

You are mine

Woman.

Start at her place.

Small 1500 sq ft, 8ft tall,

Hands wrinkled and worn.

Dish rags rang but warm.

Her mind torn,

Her love scorned,

Her passion,

a decoration

to paint a pretty personality, while she waits.

For a

Man.

Not hers

A Man, all his own.

Making us prone

Doctors prescribe submission

A motherly vision

The will to live, is a Grave we dig

As women

About the Creator

AAshes

Learn, Create, Burn to escape.

Step into a dimension with no intention, simply a void of mindless devotion.
