I am Aphrodite,Mariamne,Aphrodite-Mari,Stella Mari,the life giver risen from the tangy,frosty waters;the original cauldron of transformation. I am life and death. From my loins all things issue forth,and at the end it is I to whom they return. I am Aphrodite,the sea born,the sexual goddess and death goddess all at once. And what a sight I am! I am naked,without shame. I am attractive and alluring. They tried to tame me,and still I would not obey. They tried to degrade me with censorship and pornography. They tried to regulate me with laws and turn my people away. I only come back stronger. Yes,look at me,I am sex unbridled. I am the heat in cats and dogs. I am the lovers' passionate relationship. I am the lovers' embrace and the lust they try to deny you. Yes,lust. When your body is wholesome,healthy,and my natural time comes around,I am the one that makes you sigh all night and look with longing on those who have captured your fancy. I am aslo the prostitutes who gather in the loveless and undesirable men from the streets. I am the generous whore with the golden heart with ice in my veins. I rule everything;I am almighty. No one can resist me. I made you that way. My imprint is on your every cell and nerve ending. I am the images you see in erotic dreams,and I am the hope for the lovelorn and the treasure of those who find me. I reward my worshippers with long and healthly lives. I am there for the traveler and the homebound. I am the food of the body and soul;I am the future of the races. I continue weaving my web of knowing around your heart,even if you have been giving this knowing away. When you no longer want me,old and tired,I will take you back into my all-encompassing lap because I am the one who decides on your hour of return. Are you aghast? Are you wavering,trying to avoid my face,ashamed that you are so weak as to bow to me? Know that I am the Queen of all organic life;none but the stones can resist me. Nothing but honesty makes me listen to you. I proclaim messages of Love;this is my job,and I do it well. All art thrives on my feelings;all music celebrates my variety;all dancers dedicate their movement to me;and all sculptors follow my lines,if they are any good. I am one with the opposites;I am constantly uniting. I am pansexual;the imprint of my sex is repeated in nature. Look at the vulvalike seashells or the nourishing barley for my shape. Look deeply into the orchids,roses,irises;they imitate my sex. Admire the scent and drink deeply of the of the nights to come. I am in the air,dispensing longing and ecstasy in generous measures. My celebrations are spent with flutes and bare feet on mountaintops. I am Marina,curly-haired and swarthy. The mermaids are my cousins. I am that which makes your life worth living.....

'Tis a well-crafted depiction of her power and allure. One point though, lust only rules our lives if we let it and I will return to the rich earth upon my demise. ------------------ Now and forever, my heart hears ~one voice~. DreamEvil© |

Have to agree with Dream! I am influenced by my lusts, not controlled by them. However, that in no way detracts from a masterful telling! |

Very nicely done. Yet I fear there's some resentment hiding in some of the replies. "Resentment is like taking poison and waiting for the other person to die." --Malachy Mccourt Could they be truth to what you write and the others who might die? I'm just kidding. Couldn't help myself. |

Whether it's resentment or envy, it matters not. We all get the twinge when confronted with a wordsmith of this magnitude. I feel like a hack after reading Jen's stuff, but the feeling of R or E can be creatively juiced and not left as a villain. JennyLee sings the aria of her soul and we need to appreciate it for it's true worth, and let it spur us on to the bigger.
