i am a goddess

i was born in and of the heavens.
i walked into the world and
inspired the eiffel tower.

i designed the palace of palaces, and
gave it to the richest of the rich.

i am beautiful.

i sat on the Earth and
condemned its people with seduction.

i got bored and started a war
to entertain me.

my life is a silenced legend
my tortured screams shattered the ground
the grand canyon is the product of my anger.
i am terrifying.




i gazed on Atlantis and
sent it to the depths.

i glanced at Europe and
a plague appeared.

my burning glare started
a great fire in London.
i am a goddess.




my father demanded that
i give a gift to the mortals.
i gave them me.

my mother asked that
i take a husband.
i preferred several lovers.
i am the epitome of radiance.




my eyes are emeralds
in a porcelain face
lips as soft and pink as the flesh of a rose.

i cry delicately for those i’ve lost
the salt of my tears
flavored the dead sea.
i am divine.




i stood on a star and looked
condescendingly at your world but
i liked what i saw.

i saw pieces of myself scattered
throughout your existence as
a constant reminder of my gift to you.
i am cherished.

i am perfect, i am amazing, i am brilliant.
i am surreal, i am fantasy, i am life.




i mean...i...can run
all the way to the sun.




i am mary iris wakeling.
