We all want what we want
And feel it's what we deserve
Through life's ups and downs
Through actions and words

At the moment  we're born
We start wanting our wants
Before we've even learned
Of the does and the dont's

The want's don't always add up
To what it is we should do
As pressures continue to mount
We should align with the truth

That the should's care for each other
The should's reach goals and dreams
While want's bring down one another
As they over power the needs

So let's do what we should
Not letting want's have their way
Without want's clogging life's path
Ahead should be better days

It pulls me deep with a grip so relentless
It swirls me senseless with tendrils so sensuous
It overwhelms me so with determined fervour
I can't breathe, I can't fight, I get pulled under.

It renders me helpless but every bit I'm enjoying
These currents they push and carry, entranced I'm dancing
Try to swim and navigate but almost seem futile
Defy all logic, in this magical enchantment I smile.

I squeeze in an occasional breath that's deep
Reality streams in like water running in steep
But in a heartbeat I exhale to expel it all out
For I am addicted to the current and its strong-armed clout.

It's a whole new realm that has been so long hidden
Mystical and whimsical, this overgrown path that's hardly ridden
Fortunate it feels to have discovered such a find
So consumed, that it fills my body and my mind.

This tidal wave in my heart, with strength so unbelievable
Wearing away the uncertainty and everything else sensible
As it beats upon the shore of my guardedness
Revealed the tender core filled with love that's limitless.

Forever I wish to be submerged in this dream-like state
Floating and drifting, clumsily in a child-like gait
I have found myself in this love I'm drowning
Swim up and awaken is a thought I'm not longing.

Engulfed in a blanket of love's sweet loving
Feeble attempt to embrace back is all I'm trying
"Enjoy it, and receive what you can" said the voice in my head
My heart replies, "I think I'll love her forever instead".

If love
         Was steps
                         I would
                                   Climb each
                                                     And every
                                                                      One to
                                                                                Step in
                                                                                          To
                                                                                            Your waiting heart....
