Change-maker

Poetry — I am a thunderclap, electricity incarnate

electricity shivers along my tongue

tickling my teeth with little fuzzy currents

everything i lick turns to opportunities

like midas’ touch lining my insides with gold

i am a thunderclap

energy and water colliding into a crisp moment

like lips meeting in a shocking kiss

fire turned sharp

i light up the sky in a maelstrom

light emanating from within

my curves silhouetted like the moon

people’s bad intentions turn to smoke

and roll off me into the abyss of night

or the uncertain depths of the deepest ocean

strength is my currency and stars are my change

every door i open leads me to another

an endless maze of new possibilities

i am velvet lightning

a change-maker

ready to venture first

unafraid to make the first move

willing to wait for what feels good

i value myself

and i know my worth

i am the sphinx guarding my own inner sanctum

if you answer me right

i just might let you in
