beautiful


you may not see
this body through the
eyes of a hungry man
craving to ravage
it tear me open
pull me apart
like meat from the bone

your eyes might not
fall upon my curves
as they move beneath
my skirt in hurried steps
as i pass the whistles
and slurs of callous
animals in their
chainlinked construction
site cage

the beauty you see in me
is not skin deep
it plunges the leagues
of blood and bone
that you have swam through
with the oxygen i breathe to you

the beauty you see in me
is not wide open
it is the locked room
inside my heart and mind
that you have entered
with the key i gave you

the beauty you see in me
is not a straight line
it is the meandering road
through arteries and veins
that you have traveled
with the map i drew for you

the beauty you see in me
was first discovered by you
when you dared to explore
more than my shape
when you explored to dare
shape more than my beauty.

through only your eyes
i am real
through only your eyes
i am truly beautiful.
