Body (shape poem in notes)

by ddscott

To be a lucky strand, Tangled, tethered to you Cloaking such beauty, To see the iris that glows Behind tinted amber pools Teeth that advise such clarity, Wrapped in velvet creased lips A protruding collar bone, Embossing ethereal skin With shoulders built To harbor the weight of the world Bronzed over flesh is spanning Across fickle and cold bones Constructing a case to hide A sunken Aquarius heart For as hollow as it is To a lover's knock, There is much to be Uncovered and desired Unspeakable curves will mold To accentuate a searing lust Justified by knowing what it means To be held to you Arms stretching to a locking embrace Warm to touch Every joint akin to the previous, Dialing down to finger tips, Breaking away in ten beautiful directions And there lies a gateway to symmetry, Almost unseen Where the make of your mother's breath, And the sum of your father's skill, Entwine to beget a graceful badge To where you constitute a conceivable home, Should you so choose A manger, suited to an heir Here is where your dress flows How many Michigan sunsets Have broke light beneath the fabric That adorns you How many Chicago winds Have flown that flag Such comfort to be a cloth, Draped in a silhouette To an ornate fashion The thousands of threads Spun and stitched to adhere A fixation of benevolent shape It's astir to every notch As you saunter past With tenor and a managed confidence Two feet with a steadfast passion And misplaced direction
