Lace and Velvet

I love your hair the most.

Thick, black

Black in truth and the baring of it.

Black in solidity,

something I'm not used to.

 

Your eyes, dark brown,

expressing much more than you allow them to.

They don't reflect the light around them.

They reflect the purity of you.

When I look into them I don't see myself

I see you.

I don't see what I am

I see what I'm lacking.

 

Your lips are plush like ecstasy.

They remind me of frosted strawberry ice cream.

I wouldn't mind losing myself there,

lingering for days.

Your smile has my heart plunging into fire.

Even a pout will take my breath away.

 

Whenever you feel insecure about your body

I'm left wondering why.

I'm drawn to it.

All dips and curves.

If you were mine I'd show you

why you should never be ashamed of it.
