"The Shape of Awe"

- I'm left breathless as you walk into view

Magnetic is your silhouette, and though I have not directly made eye contact

I feel a connection towards you

Lips that blossom in more a grand state than any rose or lily

Your waist, evidently not tainted by society's tastes

I cannot put the sight of you aside

Oh how I ache for you to be mine

- Hip to thigh ratio that mirrors the collaboration between sun & moon

The skin on your shoulders glowing via radiance of its natural light

It's gonna be dark soon, so I must be careful of my thoughts

All kinds of ideas journey through a man's mind at night

And the sight of your curvaceous vessel doesn't help compress the tenacious tendencies you bring

When I just glance at your being

- How can a woman's eyes be so deadly?

Trending is the assumption that health should be a concern with a woman your size

But to the demise of the fool, I'll elaborate on the side of the wise

You are beautiful

Pressed against my chest is where I wish you were

Arms in contact with your lower back, as I embrace you with urgent motive

I don't know if you've noticed

But letting you go isn't much of an option

Your booty won't allow me to roam free

The smile you give me appears to align as well

So I assume you agree?

- God created a Queen, obviously one fallen from the skies

The night you were born, and your soul came to life

Oh how I've dreamed of the orchids I'd place in your hair

Or my natural inkling to kiss you here...maybe over there...

And there too

There is nothing imperfect about you

For whatever stretch mark, bulge, or curve you eye as a flaw

I am amazed by it; it is your body...your anatomy

Which leaves me standing in awe
