by Claudia Jemal

You perceive me
You position me in your sights
And invigorate me with your vision
That exposes my carefully constructed innocence
And reflects my impish guise

You ignite me
You remind me of my larcenies
And assure that my adeptness is extant
For all to see
If they would be so wise.

You restore me
You retrieve me from my despair
And extract me from the tragedy of the unaligned infinity
That threatens to dissolve me
With effective inertia and imponderable strength..

You enfold me
You embrace me with my dreams
And entice me with my future
That promises hope and joy
And possibilities still unformulated.

You behold me
You cajole me with your demands
And commission my secret wares
For an unappreciative public
Who would be satisfied with entertainment.

You celebrate me
You coax me to emerge
And draw from me a symmetry
That cannot be unbalanced
Or disguised by diluted allegiance.

You consume me
You guzzle the nectar of my potential
And wipe your lips of the excess
That spills from my fount.
And dries across the ages.

You consume me.
