Lessons in Goddesshood

He used to refer to me
as his
Goddess of Abundance
Abundant: Breasts-Hips-Lips!
(the essence of all that is female)

He loved my softness
filled with
Sweet Desire: Sighs-Moans-Wetness!
(the wonder that is woman)

I loved him abundantly...
keeping him filled with me
he was never left wanting
or empty!

I cooked and cooked for him:
Gourmet Vegetarian/Kosher delights
fresh bagels & coffee breakfast
in bed/candle light suppers!

Dressed as a naughty french maid,
I washed his laundry, washed the floors,
washed his back, and made his bed...

But, I was also a woman with:
wants, needs, wounds
&
my own desires!
For this he punished me..

I was no longer:
His Goddess of Abundance
but rather:
The All Consuming Devouring She-Beast!

He said that I ravaged
and absorbed his sense of SELF...

My abundance was exhausting!
too much!
too much!

(then he left me)

Devastated, alone-

I turned to the wisdom of other
sister goddesses, who said:

"Didn't you know that you must always keep these
MAN-creatures Wanting & Hungry?
You OVER FED IT!!"

(well, you live, you learn)

I am still a Goddess,
but I've stopped cooking,
and I no longer DO floors,
especially NOT,
on my hands and knees!
