Poetry Prompt: careless arms

I was indecisive while naming this poem. At first, I was going to title it “The Dark Maiden”. The Dark Maiden was coined by the late Shekhinah Mountainwater. In her book, Ariadnes Thread, she shares her idea of there being a fourth aspect to the triple Goddess. The fourth aspect being the Dark Maiden. The Bright Maiden waxes, the Mother is Full, the Dark Maiden wanes and the Crone goes dark. She mentions how every young woman enters adulthood as one of the two Maidens. The Bright Maiden is who we know the Maiden to be. She is fire, spring, eager to take on the world, fearless and she has a masculine way about her. The Dark Maiden is water, fall, careful, deeply emotional and she has a more feminine way about her. The Dark Maiden is the twisted feminine energy that takes a long time to heal. Her childhood was rough, she was placed in careless arms. So she enters her adulthood with many burdens that she must unpack all by herself. I am a Dark Maiden. A dark maiden on her journey to uncovering her bright self, because a bright maiden does exist within the spirit of every Dark Maiden. This poem reflects the making of a Dark Maiden.

I chose Of The Night because more people might be able to relate to such a title. There are many children of the night in this world, and this title seemed the most fitting.

Poetry Prompt: I know you’re wrong for me, but still, here I am

He was a Pisces Sun, a Scorpio Moon. He just felt like water to me. He was easy to get lost in and I nearly drowned in our lust that I confused for love. There was a time where I was certain I’d burn for him forever, but it turned out that I was the only one fighting to keep our fire alive. His waves were too big and he never felt the need to control them. When he’d wash our fire away, I’d quickly start up a new one, until one day I realized I had run out of fuel. My tank was on E, and I would never burn for him ever again.

When I left, I left him with a version of myself that I know longer recognized. He swallowed her whole, and I’m grateful that he did. I wouldn’t have been able to become a woman if that version of me still existed.

The Pisces New Moon is a great one to begin putting effort towards breaking a destructive cycle in your life. For this New Moon in Pisces, I’m focusing on facing my emotional/binge eating. This thread can be applied to any self destructive tendency you’re trying to overcome.
