Queen of Love:
Simone’s Notes:
Anaisa Pye, alternatively, Anaisa Pie, Anaisa Pie Danto, or Anaisa La Chiquita, is a very popular loa within Dominican Vodou. She is considered the patron saint of love, money, and general happiness within the 21 Divisions. She is often considered extremely flirtatious, generous, and playful by her devotees. She is also very jealous of the worship of other female loas, as she considers herself able to provide for anything a person could request. In Roman Catholicism, she is syncretized with Saint Anne and her altars are often decorated with pictures and statues of Saint Anne and the child Mary. She is said to work very well with Belie Belcan, another popular loa who is associated with Saint Michael the Archangel. Therefore, one will always find icons of Saint Anne next to icons of Saint Michael in Vodou households and temples. Her feast day is celebrated on 26 July and her favorite colors are yellow and pink. Some people consider Cachita to be one of her "puntos" or incarnations.
-Edward-
Manami drives me wild.
Her eyes draw me deeper into her.
I want her to swallow me whole.
Derdra is my love, but she can’t measure up to my mistress.
Manami’s pink locks keep me mesmerized.
I am her victim of fun.
Bite after bite, she takes me.
I take her with each bite as well.
She makes me into a greedy bastard.
She makes me drunk off of her.
Her kisses taste like candy.
When her nails sink into my skin, she makes me scream.
I am her bitch.
Take me!
Please take me!
The heat rises through my body.
I drink and drink until I drown her.
I don’t want to stop with her.
Every scratch makes me hunger for her.
My spine shivers when she calls my name.
She’s going to call me to her bed again tonight.
I go because I cannot refuse her.
My mistress has turned me into an addict.
However…
This isn’t the first time that I have been tangled up like this.
There was another before her.
Her name is forever buried within me.
I draw my eyes closed as she appears in my mind as I drift off to sleep at night.
Ai-oni…
