A Poem by – PawnofMarquesa
Are You a woman? A Goddess?
No more or less
Than both the same
In one fair frame.
How could light so Divine
Sparkle and shine
But from a woman’s heart?
Though we’re apart
i bask in its light.
Even at night
Lying in bed
All through my head
Your radiance seeps.
As my heart sleeps,
You fill its space.
Yet Your sweet face
Is sometimes marked by pain,
And so falls rain
Into my soul.
Let me enfold
You in my arms so tender
And let them render
Your hurt my own.
The seeds of love You’ve sown
Flower daily each anew
Watered by Your words, like dew
Upon the soil of my passion.
And in such fashion
You walk the world, its Queen
Such as was never seen.
A woman, yes, Who aches
Whose heart breaks
For the world so cruel and cold,
Yet One as bold
As Kali in Your dance,
Upon Shiva, entranced
Your foot upon his throat,
Your whirling hands afloat
Your victory complete
Your triumph full and sweet.
Take heart, Fair Divine
Whether Yours, or mine
Both belong to You
And as You do
Know that You are not Alone
Your light has ever shone
On thousands near and far
For whom You are their Star.
Both Your joy and sorrow
Create a new tomorrow
That is ever Yours
But opens new doors
Through which the myriads stream,
Enchanted in love’s dream.
