Notes About The Poem

Another episode for my general love of women.

Goddesses

Freya, Maria, Gaia, Sofia
Isis, Astarte
Kali and Parvati

Always it seems
They haunt my dreams
Staring like tigers in my night

With demanding love
And no expectation 
But to see Her

They walk in light
Hip-switching across the Earth
A woman, a deer, a flying leaf

Her flaming sword 
Could spin my head off  
But She kisses my soul and I'm safe

Every day I see Her 
Magic paralyzing eyes
Outlined in black

Golden eyelids smiling
Startingly clearly brown or blue
I know lust and peace at once

The world turns over
And the world burns
And the Goddess walks forever

Nice! Love the structure and the feel. The last three lines make me jealous! Lol. Good work!
