Perspective

i know i'm not the one for you
but at what point can i jump in
and ask for this dance

everything about you is magic
you make me smile and more
importantly
you make me happy

is it alright that i love you
is it alright that i lock myself
up within this room
writing to keep you
when i've already lost you

i crave what we could have had
what i should have said
i cannot bear to see you have
what we could have had
it breaks my heart

i want you so desperately
but it doesn't matter
you will never want me
because you see me
the way i see myself

Circle Dance

what does it take to discover new things?
why is it that no matter where i look
i can still see those titles blazing
in my mind
envision the bed
full of the warmth passion comfort
that i need to embrace
in order to have what is rightfully mine
that feeling of ecstatic ecstasy
where nothing impedes this learning
filling my essence of the knowledge
that i crave
i want to know everything
i want so desperately to be able
to create those potions
to worship in my way
where i can feel the energy in myself
and not imagine it in another
where i can feel it in other people
so i can keep everything together
and not have to worry bout whether or not
it looks good
or whether or not anyone cares
i care and thats all that matters to me
i don't need anything else
not from this anyways
this is my soul escaping
i can see myself
what is it called?
the happy place?
there is an opening in a group of trees
where we gather in order to escape
daily grind and where we can escape
our own psyches
we need to be able to feel ourselves again
what is it that i cannot touch?
reach deep within and summon that energy be whatever form it takes
hold me in its arms and flow through my body
invigorating my curiosity and my existence
what would i do without these women and this power
we are powerful
she is taking control of her own mind and learning
what it has to say
we begin to sway and sing
we love the dance and the flow
we begin to sing and sway
we love the rhythm most of all
asking for presence
asking for power
compel the goddess
create change
