take a good look…
really study the structure
memorize…categorize…if you wish
every nuance…of this…
of me
when you run your palm down my spine
I want you to note it’s steely structure
how it holds firm against the ravages of life
and contrast that knowledge…
with how it curves
following the heat of your caress…
pay heed to its movement
as it speaks…
of what I lack the words to express
you need to understand
how complex I am
this body is…
more than a description
you need to read it…
like scripture
treat it…like a benediction
you’ll need both hands…
to truly comprehend the beauty found…
in the luscious spread of these hips
never forgetting…
they took extra time to form and align
blooming into their curvaceous expanse
birthing life against all odds
they give you solid purchase…
to hold on
the sway and roll of their rhythm…
directly impacted…affected…by yours
and these pearly pillars guarding heaven’s entry
so strong and yet so yielding
a lush welcome into the beyond…
where you will lose yourself…
and be reborn
sheltered within the shadowed haven…
of the familiar unknown
becoming divinity within me
now tell me…
when you gaze at me…
what is it you see?
