the Queen of Arts
she traded her broken halo for a crown
when all the kings men came tumbling down
they creeped and crowded at her feet
but none of them did she beseech
they only begged her pretty things
but not her holy,like her king
the only one she would courtsy for
all of her virtues he adored
others wanted her crumbling at her core
and at their mercies crawling on the floor
but a king dare not soil her lofty spirit
only lift it up to revere it
for she is his woman,his queen
and she encompass everything
right next to him she will always reside
she was carved and crafted from his side
she paints his world in sunrise
his fortress lies within her eyes
he is immortalized he rules forevermore
reigns for infinite generations with her..thru her

When patriarchal take-over topped early civilization, matrilineal traditions had to be villified.
Ishtar. Lilith. Tiamat. Mourganna la Fey.
Always during times of social upheavel, cultural erasing are dynamics re-engineered. Society is restructured.
For years sociologists, theologists, atheists, skeptics, cynics who scoped close said this was to rope in advance the hopeful stances of those second generation sons. Those who reckon they'd take their name back some. Cut off early the arise of any reprisals. Sure. Sounds like patriarchy.
And feels like malarkey.
Same holy stories talk about visitors from a higher place, who left life. Whether angels not dense enough to break the Earth's core who stayed on the surface and mated with humans. Or titans who did the same. Or celestial visitors who left the seeds of humanity. A mother angel who gives wisdom, holds divine power...
...would be a greater threat than just a matriarchal head of a fallen empire. The greater the threat, the deeper the legend runs amongst the conquerers.
Maybe they're all the same Mother Angel. Your work here is awesome.

I came across your comment on another poet's poem and came to take a look at your work. I am so glad I did. This is magnificent.
