Deity

Don't call me your Aphrodite 

Make me your Kali 

Your Oshún 

Your Ishtar 

Your Isis

Your Oya 

Your Sedna 

Your Uma 

Your Lakshmi

There's no going back 

Once you've tasted me 

One day 

I will cause hurricanes

And spin you in my tornados

The next

I will send a smooth breeze 

And you will take me in again 

There is magic in my touch 

And fire in my kiss 

Air in my sighs 

An ocean rhumbas deep within me

There is thunder in these small thighs

Lightening bolts in my dark eyes 

And electricity that runs 

As deep as poetry 

Tell me 

Which goddess do you dare to make me?
