Goddess

Goddess

A Poem by Kathryn Smith

You should've crowned her


Because she's a Goddess

 

You never got this





Her brown eyes a hurricane


Full of furry


Of spirit


Of wildness


Of heart


Oh her heart


It churns and beats


Beats and churns


Races


Mourns


Creates heat


Stones in her throat


You watched her burn


Scorned


She was crashing


Smashing


Thrashing at your door


Do you want some more?


Your jar of hearts


Letters on the floor


Weak you say


and weak you'll be


Didn't you know


She could've saved you that day


But you just let it repeat


The choices you make


It is misery you embrace


Terrible mistakes


Women you waste


We pave the way


We will tie your name to a stake


Light it on fire


and in the flames


We will smile


Smile at the b*****d


He was never deserving


The title of "man"


If you mess with a Goddess


It is in hell


He will stand



A Goddess has heart


and a heart she will keep


Her love runs deep


Promises to keep



Perhaps no man will love her


For only a Godly man will see her


and a Godly man will know her


It will take a real man


To keep her




Finally surfaced above the downs
Feeling her boldest she came around
 Because she's a goddess


She finally saw this

i must consider 'tis write one of my fav. for sure!

the way how you speak the reality of cruelty undisguised is quite very much intriguing. you showing the worth of women as well as the value of real man here around in such deep words. yes, i agree, only a real man can be a keeper of her heart cos the rest of the ones are only longed tp chew the every ounce of her beats. very artistically written!

Beautiful poem. Sometimes a woman needs to know her strength and her worth. I really liked the line "If you mess with a Goddess, it is in hell he will stand." Keep up the good work!

interesting style and rhyme. a surprise to be sure, not familiar with it, which is a nice change of pace.

And maybe you hit the nail on the head with the non deserving part. We knock ourselves down because of what others fail in, not because there is reason to knock ourselves. When we live in such a hectic, throwaway society, people are rushed by life into making immediate judgements and not having the knowledge or awareness of others to realise just how cruel those instant decisions can be. You would have been their goddess, if they were worthy. Beautifully written, with just the right amount of grrrr :)
