What I Can Claim

by Trina Williams-Emigh



I can douse you in fire
Then cool you with it's flame
Possessing a power only I can claim

I can make you like a jungle - wild
Then render you tame
Possessing a power only I can claim

I can declare you the hunter
Yet pursue you like game
Possessing a power only I can claim

I can paint the world as a picture
And you as it's frame
Possessing a power only I can claim

I can incite you to tremble, and weep
Crying out loudly in shame
Possessing a power only I can claim

I can encase you in darkness
And make you call softly my name
Possessing a power only I can claim

I can profess that I need you
And make you do the same
Possessing a power only I can claim

I can make you love me
And gladly take all the blame
Possessing a power only I can claim
