I can lift an entire universe and place it upon my shoulders.
Chew incessantly without disintegrating my molars.
My skin is not silken, it is really rather coarse.
And my hair could only be compared to that of a sprinting horse.
... Do you love me still?

The curves on my body are uncivilized, not fastened tight to the bone.
If I were to wrap my lips around yours, you'd savor a stream of liquefied chrome.
These spider leg-embroidered orbs are not glossy or brass;
They are dull and must be aided with border-encrusted glass.
... Do you love me still?

My hands are not soft, they are tired and bare.
Nonetheless, they'd like to scamper across your wavy hair.
My thighs have not been broken into, they remain raw;
I could probably not bend this vessel into intricate positions, nor abide to modern sexual law.
... But, do you think you could love me still?

I love you for who you are, not what you are.
Can you do the same for me?
Can you stop the trembling in my knees?
Come now. Say it. I want to hear it from thee.

Posted by Dirkin 2008-05-24 00:23:27 .... Its amazing how when you just write from the heart what amazing poetry occurs, like words from the soul! This is the best you've written my friend. I think everyone wants someone who loves them no matter what. I liked the colorful descriptions: border encrusted glass, spider leg embroidered orbs, thats really vivid imagery. (I like glasses) Kudos, great job + Report this comment

Posted by CELL 2008-05-28 13:49:37 .... Well, first of all, I was describing a common sort of woman. And second, oh yeah, fiddling with plastic dolls (i.e. you) is so much better. Toodles. + Report this comment
Posted by Ashutosh 2008-08-15 01:10:09 .... Haha...this was one quite funny. I though it was written quite intelligently. Seems you write from experience. hehe Seems quite heartfelt to me. It's more of a prose poem, it seems to me. This was an entertaining read. The lines were great. + Report this comment
