I Partake in Joy

I partake in joy on occassion 

Like a hit, a puff of something illicit 

She settles in and sits fully imbibed

She fills me with grandiosity 

In her throne of red velvet

I am compelled to join her

She captures abundancce 

Filling it to overflow 

What she evokes moves me

It is like the wonder you can float in water

Her capacity to eliminate emptiness 

Brings me to a knowingness that I want

More than to just partake
