my body fascinates me.
i am tall and taughtly relaxed like a bow when it's strung
but not pulled back.
all my curves are long and drawn out
like an S stretched from both ends.
i am like a panther. strong and sleek.
but sometimes i feel like a kitten. perhaps like a wild cat
that looks soft and cuddly but you better not mess with it.
sometimes i have a soft side but it's mostly inside
and i can turn it away from you in the cold shoulder instant.
for a manner or a whim. but if i love you i'll turn it back in a minute.
indiference is just one of my moods.
i like it when my body works together for one thing
with my mind.
when it all commits to one goal.
strives for one cause.
sometimes it's fragmented
like floating limbs and loosley strung parts
sloppily thrown together.
see the thing is someone put a drill to me and wouldn't stop hammering
and all that pressure finally busted me up
there's something else though.
about the strong part.
it's that string that sinewy muscle cord
with a mind like fire and a deep deep heart
it just never let go of all the pieces
that's my soul waiting for someone like you:someone like me
to bring it back together.
that sleek, panther, bowstring S
my body.
