Goddess: A Poem By Belinda Daou
Goddess
She felt like a light beaming into a room afraid of anything but darkness
Her presence chased evil away
She flooded colour into the darkest souls
She was the kind of person you wanted to be touched by, just to feel hope caress your soul
Her guardian angels were called to fight the darkest of demons
Her smile was contagious
Haunting at times
The type of haunting you wanted to be followed by
She could open your chest and reach down into your soul and plant seeds of happiness for eternity
She could heal your wounds just with her white aura
She was a gift to anyone lucky enough to cross paths with her
The closest you’d ever come to heaven
A miracle thrown down from the sky
She held the innocence of a newborn child even in a world that repeatedly tried to steal it from her
She was an angel whose soul was constantly twisted and dragged into chaos and ugliness
Her heart fought desperately to keep its true colours untouched
Life was a struggle for such a pure heart
Almost as if she was made of different flesh and bone
It was a curse and a blessing to be her
She was an outsider, an outcast, something the world couldn’t believe to begin to accept
Maybe she belonged to another world
One she didn’t even know existed but still hoped to find one day
One she felt a responsibility to create herself
That maybe if she kept watering the good in her heart
If she kept giving more than taking
That she could bring heaven to the darkest ugliest corners of the world
That she could inject the world with the same matter she was made of
She was a rare beautiful woman formulating a plan to rumble the world with wonder
She is what you’d call a Goddess.
