I'm not a Goddess
carved in stone
or of sculpted clay
My curves
have seen
firmer days
Yet the fire
that my Goddess
burns hotter
with the years
Were I a maid
of innocence
would be more
than I could
control
As it is
My Goddess
soft
with age
knows plenty
more of
passioned heat
then it did
when I was
twenty

This warms right up into a sensuous delivery.
Goddesses at both ages I'd say.

First you get good then you get better....smile...

Love the whole idea Lori and write on to fulfillment. Good stuff once again!

Hah! I hear you, Lori, and I definitely have to side with Eric on this one about the getting better part especially. Gotta love it.

Young goddesses can crack the clay;
the elder goddesses...can form new stone.
