MY BODY

My body,

white page in your hands,

kiss to uncertain lips,

sometimes gentle,

sometimes urgent.

My body,

of a sweet texture,

cotton,

linen,

satin,

challenge I offer you,

fully,

for you to lose

and find yourself.

My body,

yours,

for you to enjoy,

to flavour,

to feed you,

and feed me.

Indulge my hunger of needing you,

and bind on my skin,

the urgency of new beginnings
