Anath, the Warrior Goddess

I am Anath, the warrior goddess With rippling sand and sinuating curves Not a lady, but a woman lawless No merciful but set to test your nerves My lips are dry, can’t cry so always starve If ready, I bloom in the dark of night Come into me at sunset without fright Stand with me and feel my serenity Look out with me, feel how my depth incite Will show secret spots of eternity.
* Anath is the name of a warrior goddess in Egyptian Mythology married to Seth, the God of Deserts and Storms.* +++ September 16, 2014 Form : Dizain ( AB AB BC CD CD-Ten Lines) Dr. Ram Mehta Fifth Place Win Contest: In the desert by nette onclaud
