Body of water not of flesh

by Rage

Fingertips buoyant and dancing skim across shimmered skin my breast turn to moving sea you stand on my beach youthfully observing tossing rocks into a stilness making waves into ripples my body is full, beautiful, endless you want to dip into me want to know me want to swim. Someday you will realize there is no way for you to hold all of me not at once. That I am not the body you want. You will forget me Turn other bodies into water No not water but Bouncing ripples of flesh, Into waves Dancing your fingers across their skin with thirst Forgetting all the ways you have been quenched Forgetting my body of water for a sea of skin All that love and i'll turn to rain I will remain the most beautiful, and endless body But water wasn't what you were looking for so sorry you cant hold all of me at once too expansive to only be a body to much meaning to just be the sea yet still to little to go around still just one
