Your Body, Holy

Written November 27th, 2022

I wonder if you think about me the way I think about you

Your body is a temple to me, and I want nothing more than to worship it

This flesh is sacred, and selfishly, I covet it

I see the blood beneath your skin, delicious and divine


And yet beyond the flesh, I see a spark of electricity inside

You've a heart that rivals the kindest of souls

And an intellect that people will overlook

Simply to suit their idiotic pre-conceived notions of you

But I can see the fire within


I can't help but wonder, selfishly, if you think of me in kind

If you see something worth coveting in me

I wouldn't mind if you didn't, if I was just average all around to you

So long as I was still allowed to marvel in your presence
