GODDESS OF LOVE
She is my meditation and my muse,
without her I cannot live.
Every day she steers my ship at dawn,
to new horizons and beyond.

She is my communication,
my voice, without her I am silent.
As if by magic-carpet,
galaxies appear at the speed of thought.

She is my constant companion,
without her I am lonely and lost.
At the market-place she is with me,
when I re-wick and oil the lamps.

She is my imagination, my strength,
when I rub her lamp she comes.
She is more than a genie to me though,
she is my goddess of love.

She is the spirit that fuels my soul,
on towards immortality.
Already we have built a million mansions,
in the eternal realm.

  1. And right in time for the Hindu celebration for Mother Goddesss. For me, I am in silence with & without her.

  4. Thanks Philip, for your very lovely comment!

    Hi Stan, sometimes I can't tell the difference between the real and the imaginary, so I ask her.

  5. I read the fist four verses thinking it a good, well-constructed poem of an undeservedly unfashionable genre - but the last verse lifted it, in my opinion, to a new height altogether.

  11. Hello,

    Now my professor would say this sounds codependent. I think its beauty in written word.

  12. A true love story. The connection to inspiration as a goddess is very touching.

  13. Hi T, thanks for visiting STG..
    It's a spiritual meditation where he mixes faith with imagination and applies it to his situation resulting in an infatuation with the goddess and a communication which is a liberation in itself.

    Christine, many thanks for the informed comment. Don't you just love a true love story?
