‘Ode to Woman’ ©

'GaryMPhoto' - Gary Mitchell ©

Without women
Our days would be utter absurdities
Purpose lost would turn to ire
The world of men unhinged
And what is left?
But a cannibals rage
To tear each other in to shreds
That love and lust would be mere threads
Without women
.
Without women
Would beauty be mere strength and will?
To subdue the mind
With cold rationale
And not give pause to innocence
And mourn the dreams we savagely kill
Like prophets with their deities
We’d lack the ego to belief
Without women
.
Without women
What arbitrary commandments would stand?
To tell us what nature desires
To banish forth,
Our faith, craving, ardour
To mind’s gulag, a distant land
And no escape from limbo’s shore
Without some image of life’s sweet blossom
Without women
.
Without women
Who’d place our vanity on a leash?
To symbolise the waters edge
To justify the human race
To civilised the timid beast

Cherry La Voix - Bad Girl - The Kiss Kiss Cabaret
.

This photograph was taken by the incalculably gifted Gary Mitchell from Dayton Ohio. He does art nude work, non-nude, portraits & band photography. You can see his blog and NSFW examples of his work at garym.com or garymphoto.tumblr.com.

Cherry La Voix is the muse to end all muses whom presently has got her badass on twitter (what took you so long). Follow her on Twitter: https://twitter.com/#!/CherryLaVoix
.
Additionally my US readers should take note that Cherry will be switching her base of operations for world domination to the Big Apple. Head down to Cherry La Voix's Au Revoir: A Celebration of Columbus Talent and see her off with all of her marvellous friends! This is one of her last performances in Columbus!
.
If you've never seen Cherry perform in person, (I rank among such pitiful company) or if you haven't been to a burlesque/dance event in Columbus, this is the best place to check it out!
.
At Kobo Live: $5, Doors at 8pm, Show at 8:30pm!
