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. My attempts so pitiful that I cannot even dig myself a grave, and because of that I cannot die. 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. How 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. You are a Priestess in my Temple.
