The Goddess
A free verse poem with a #ContemporaryTwist

Showering her in praise and admiration as she let them glimpse the finery that draped her form.

Wrapped in ribbons of red,
Too breathless to speak the words her lips trembled to tell,
The Goddess wondered where her admirers were now,
The ones that had hung on her every syllable just hours before.

From the men who'd previously fawned so eagerly for a mere wink of her eye.

"You can't send me!" "There is no-one else. It's you or no-one, and that is not an option." Ameera looked at the fat paunch and florid face of her boss, a man who lived for the story and the kudos it brought him but who rarely gave consideration to the people behind the drama. When had he become so hard? She reckoned that by the end of the year, he'd be dead, collapsed from a heart attack and she struggled to conjure any sympathy in that moment and instantly felt ashamed at displaying the same lack of compassion that he had.
