Claiming My Power

You reached for my heart, fingers stretching wide,

A soft kiss on the whispering winds, the evening tide.

With silvered threads of longing and lustful greed,

You wove your desires, planting a compelling seed.

But little did you know, hidden deep in the mire,

The heart that you thought was a casual fire,

Held embers of strength tucked away, unseen,

A warrior of spirit, fierce and serene.

In quiet moments of casting shadows so long,

I learned to dance to the melody of my song.

The more you took, the more I became,

Draped in my power, lighting my flame.
