no goddess

she’s no goddess
or so she claims
just an ordinary girl, in love with an ordinary boy
yet lionized and canonized
her absence leaves me empty
adam, fallen from grace
fully aware of the blessings lost…
to temptation.
my happiness is Lot’s wife
turned to a pillar of salt(iness)
punishment for curiosity
for looking back on the Sodom and Gomorrah of my life
                                                                                                                (Ragnarok)

she’s no goddess
or so she claims
just an ordinary girl, in love with an ordinary boy
pagan rituals practiced at the altar of her thighs
her touch is manna from heaven,
providing sustenance, keeping my soul_ful
breathing life into deflated lungs
causing the broken, still heart to beat
creating a new being
a new life
from the dust
according to her vision.
                                                                                                                (Genesis)

she’s no goddess
or so she claims
just an ordinary girl, in love with an ordinary boy
HERESY!!
beautiful aphrodite
wise, insightful athena
temperamental oshun
sought-after freyja
                                                                                                                (Mt. Olympus)

she’s no goddess
or so she claims
just an ordinary girl, in love with an ordinary boy…
no. not A goddess
a PANTHEON
with one humble follower.
