“Hello body of mine”
Hello
in the morning, as my eyes open
I smell your skin
and i smile.
I look down at your stomach,
follow it's lines,
watch how it grows and shrinks,
and i smile.
I feel the caress of your hair
on my cheeks and my chin
as it blows under the fan
and i smile.
Hello body of mine,
good morning.
I'm so happy you woke,
Its a sign you're a champion.
there's not much going on
beyond your mounts of covers,
but i'd like to say, body,
the way you carry yourself
makes me not want to wake up
next to anyone else.
