Introduction

I have been married and divorced 3 times, mainly to insane artistic types...my poetry has been my life line to making sense out of the chaotic mess that has been my love life. I am one pissed off Goddess who has had it up to here!

Dumping the Goddess

He used to refer to me
as his
"The 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 of what 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
"A Naughty French Maid",
I washed his laundry, washed
the floors, washed his back & made
the bed...
("It's so much fun to play this way!")

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
& 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!
