♛Shape Shifter











I will make myself
perfect for you
my body knows of nothing else
You look and it responds
contorting to please your view

I am aesthetically shaping
to your energy,
but not just that...
My insides twist and mold to fit
all the new forms
your presence has given it

Am I losing myself in this?
or am I simply building upon my nature
with love?

Your finger is the trigger
you pull and my soul fires,
and a million little pieces scatter through space
They return to the atmosphere
to bounce then connect
magnetically into new shapes

I look down at my feet,
my hands, my body, and my soul
I look up at you,
is it pleasing to you at all
having this much control?

People will tell me take back the power
satisfy myself. I am queen!
But they have yet to see the gentleness
of your look when I am fully seen.
It dethrones and uncrowns
the feminist fight for free.
Or is it that it sits me down elegantly
like all that is royalty?

It has become a key to a lock
I had hidden away from
even me.
I must hunt this down like a hidden treasure
and reclaim the heart of me.
Before I find that what this is, is not what 
it appears to be,
or before it actually gives me reason
to incredulously believe.

And I do not know which is more frightening.

human

stepping forward
to 
nothing

looking forward
to
black

please tell me 
this isn't over
and that's that

it was nothing
but empty air
only held space
until 
something better was there

roots

You are a tree
I would climb
forever
in whose branches
I would 
cling  to
leaves I would
hide  in
and whose bark
I would
trace carefully
with my fingers

your roots are buried deep 
within me, now
