The Goddess Within
Poetry Contest Description
Happy International Goddess day!
The Goddess doesn't enter us from outside; she emerges from deep within. She is not held back by what happened in the past. She is conceived in consciousness, born in love, and nurtured by higher thinking. She is integrity and value, created and sustained by the hard work of personal growth and the discipline of a life lived actively in hope.
~ Marianne Williamson

Eyes Over Skies
Her magic hands
Play the drum
All night long
Her special friends
Close their eyes
Won't be too long
I feel
The darkness trying
To claim me now
I feel
My soul turn black
Without a sound
The Moon's
Silver hand
Covers the Sun
Laced
With tears that we cried
At crimson dawns
Rise
Rise
And keep your eyes
Over the skies
Feel
The magic break
Inside you now
Hear
The voices call
From all around
Let
Electric winds
Fill your lungs
Dance
Around the fires
Of sacred ones
Smile
At the moon
Death is on my face
Gold
And silver dreams
That time can't erase
Rise
Just rise
And keep your eyes
Over the skies
Play the drum
All night long
Her special friends
Close their eyes
Won't be too long
I feel
The darkness trying
To claim me now
I feel
My soul turn black
Without a sound
The Moon's
Silver hand
Covers the Sun
Laced
With tears that we cried
At crimson dawns
Rise
Rise
And keep your eyes
Over the skies
Feel
The magic break
Inside you now
Hear
The voices call
From all around
Let
Electric winds
Fill your lungs
Dance
Around the fires
Of sacred ones
Smile
At the moon
Death is on my face
Gold
And silver dreams
That time can't erase
Rise
Just rise
And keep your eyes
Over the skies

Joy of Life
I've faced my demons
tamed the beast inside of me
all the while I have known
It was done through God's mercy
Everything I have today
is a blessing from the man above
I celebrate this life of joy
holding precious how I feel His love
I thank God every morning
for this new life I've received
and the chance to help my fellow man
whenever they're in need.

To Thee To Thee Goddess Of Mystery
She Who Is , Was , Ever Shall Be
She In Her Forms Of Triplicity
She Of The Moon She Of The Earth
She As The Void She Gives Stars Birth
She Of The Waters And She Of The Fire
She Roots Below Branches Grow Higher
She As The Fruit And The Fecundity
She As Wisdom She As Simplicity
She As The Question She As The Answer
She As The Stillness She As The Dancer
She As The Magick She As The Song
Tis She We All Come From To Whom We Belong
She In Her Forms Of Triplicity
She Of The Moon She Of The Earth
She As The Void She Gives Stars Birth
She Of The Waters And She Of The Fire
She Roots Below Branches Grow Higher
She As The Fruit And The Fecundity
She As Wisdom She As Simplicity
She As The Question She As The Answer
She As The Stillness She As The Dancer
She As The Magick She As The Song
Tis She We All Come From To Whom We Belong

Goddess
There is no Universal instruction
on how to survive duhkha—
each person is individual
I cannot alleviate your heartache—
only listen, question you into yourself
where answers gestate
far from chaos
It's a silent knowing of spirit
recognizing your own truth—
and the exact reason
no earthly words exist
Your Goddess is a patient sage
allowing free choice—
awaits your wise return
unto the Source
of your own joy

[ Lesbian ] Celibating my Goddesshood
Moi, a goddess?
Worthy of being
paid any tribute
lyrical or musical via
lyre, flute, oboe ..?
Oh, hell, no!
I'm the least
sophist'icated
Though perhaps
I'm being a tad modest ...
my lemon scented skin
and cello shaped figure
you'd longingly lean into
---wrap your arms around
for the fingering of my
minor --- a key in G, at your
[p]leasure
yet I'm not some violin
or any other in'strum'ent
you can just tuck
under your chin
and fiddle with
in lips service
to the Muses
This Erato?
is not into hims
or mens;
prefers hers
and womens
---Helens in trois;
hym'ns she enjoys
but if necessary
plays solo
Sorry to say so, boys
I'll never be one those Troys
for the conquering;
best keep your Trojans handy;
if you're feeling randy enough
you can go pluck yourselves

She Is More
She is art
More beautiful
Than can ever be
Expressed upon
An artist's canvas
Or a poet’s page
She is much more
Her beauty
Is in her tears
In the breeze
That carries her voice
Just as elusive
She is not perfection
Her delicious flaws
Define
Underline
How beautiful
Natural beauty is
She is unique
Defies order
Is chaos
This non conformance
The reason
Her beauty just is
More beautiful
Than can ever be
Expressed upon
An artist's canvas
Or a poet’s page
She is much more
Her beauty
Is in her tears
In the breeze
That carries her voice
Just as elusive

How beautiful

The Goddess That I Am
Goddess, the vision
of who I am,
I am consciousness,
my mind is flexible,
paths, become smooth before me.
I see not
into tomorrow, for
each moment is
relevant, without
obligation to remain
the same.
Cause and effect of
yesterday's
enlightenment is
the disappearance
of what was
The world,
manifests to the
proportion, of my emotional freedom.
Anger, frustration,
anxiety have no
place within me.
I Search
no longer for
the meaning of
my life .
I move, with the air
the air, moves with
me, creating peace
out of love.
Love,
from profound
security of my
oneness, my
knowing that the Wildflower though
it be brief, is no less beautiful than that
of a thousand
year old pine.

Diosa
Her divine light shines bright
Permeating through the soul
Her femininity sanctifies and purifies
Bathing in eternal fires of gold
She is the land, she is the sea
The air I breathe and breeze I feel
She is a mother, she is a queen
The spirit to whom we kneel
She carries life inside her womb
With mystic secrets of the universe
Her beauty blossoms and blooms
Where love and truth immerse
Your presence is a sacred essence
That has the power to give birth
Goddess Divine beyond body and mind
You are the magic and lifeblood of Earth

"best keep your Trojans handy"
Just saying , Mary Walker...
Never used a Trojan , or any
other ridiculous cover in my
entire life , as if I can not feel
contact in full reality in real
life it *never* happened...
And believe me...it happened...
Those who use separating cover reality...
Should never indulge in the first place...
Use your consciousness and intelligence
to judge your choices regarding partners or not...
66 , and *never* a condom...;)
