 Temple of the Goddess
(Inspired by Jami)

When I make love to you
Know that I am
Paying homage
To the goddess
Of whom you are the sacred
Holder of her holy
Blessed flame…
As all women are.

So many
Have desecrated
Her holy image
And therefore yours
So tonight
Let me be the one
To make offerings
Of love at her holy gates
And on the altar
Of flesh and blood
Pour out
Like a balm and salve
Mother's milk & honey.

I will kiss away
Every tear for
Each wicked and terrible
Word spoken
As thrown rocks
Tearing away the flesh
Of self-image
For which the goddess
Had endowed in you,
Perfection.

You are a beautiful
Creature and creation
Of the divine
Mad manifest on this earth
And during the passing
Of Goddess Luna
As she streaks
Across the sky
Naked in her beauty
As natural
As we are,
I will remind you
Of her truth
Reflected in
The luminous beauty
Of your skin.

I will remind you
Goddess
Of your Divinity
And your inspiration
To other women
Who walk this Earth
That your self-image
Becomes theirs
When you see
And know your own
Beauty,
As it really is,
Then we heal
And inspire
The Goddess
Divine
In one another.

Thank you
Dear Goddess
For letting me
Worship
At the temple.
