The Drowned Goddess

Long ago I drowned. Tossed from a ship on a turbulent sea, I sank to the bottom. I live in darkness, desperately clawing at the earth for a way out of the sea. I turn my claws inward, but can neither die nor dig my grave. I envy those who are mortal, my hungry rage is the watery grave of sailors. I am nightmares, a succubus, a demon.

Were you waiting for them to call me fat before you understood and laughed? I am none of those things.

There is no need to be afraid, I am not fear. Powerful women are looked at with fear, because we are not afraid.

I am the Moon, could I drown?

Watch the tides, I move with the Water in the rhythms of lovers; watch how we lap against the shores of the Earth.

A Triangle. As Above, So Below.

I am the Pearl that my lovers kiss.

A Triangle. As Above, So Below.

Now do you understand such fuss? Such words?

You already know about my words, so do not be afraid to sing, my poetry is in your bones.

A Triangle. As Above, So Below.

You are a Priestess in my Temple.
