Goddess: A Panegyric Poem by Yoni Assis

Goddess be thy name
Enchanting people, your game

You walk in beauty like the night
Leaving a trail of hearts in sight

Do you know your power?
Always sweet, never sour

The adoration must be heady
No mortal man could remain as steady

You are divine
The rest, bovine

You make your dress
Never a mess

You loved me once
I haven’t forgotten

I was your king
The rest, just rotten

What’s left, I ask?
The past to bask?

Maybe just a dream?
I remember every scene!

Stupid, hapless romantic
How old is your shtick?

Pining is so yesterday
About time for a holiday

A goddess you are
Yet here I’m the star
It’s become about me
That’s the way it should be
