Cafe Writing Prompt ~ arouse, morning, nerve, women, men, beauty, admire, nowhere
Two for Tuesdays Prompt - race, own
~
In some worlds
Women are still stifled
In strait jacket
Role plays ~
Their inner beauty
Locked
In deathly caskets ~
Cursed to act out
Pre-meditated
Moves
And shapes
~
In some worlds
Men admire
Routine and ritual
Frozen
In old wisdoms ~
Fearing
To break
Moves
And shapes ~
Fearing
To own
New shadows ~
Blind
Non-starters
In the race to
New light
~
In some worlds
Morning
Is the nerve centre
Of nowhere
And windchimes
Sidling
Before rainy glass
Arouse only a hint
Of possible
Sound

Both interesting and mystical - esp. if you take "worlds" to mean each person of themselves is a world....
great piece of work Gemma.
"there inner beauty locked away in deathly caskets" so true!
Wonderful writing!
I often wonder how many 'worlds' we really inhabit.
Very mystical, this one.
Love this one.
And you always seem to have the most appropriate art to accompany your words.
Blessings,
Linda
i could not help but wonder as i read that first verse,, why men are so instinctively insecure that they feel that control and manipulation of the woman is necessary to prove their manhood......
First let me say that the picture you took of the windchime is so lovely ....very creative and i like how you played with it.
It is so sad to see that still today many women are born and die in a stifling patriarchal culture that does its best to show them that they are less than. I see this and it affirms my belief that we still have such a long way to go in the evolution of the species.

Wow. This is wonderful. I love the metaphor of the different "worlds" people and things can live in...
Lovely piece.
