I'M Looking At Your Shadow

I'm looking at your shadow It is cast bigger than what is your truth The curve of your breasts accentuated, your contour smooth as it gently glides down towards your hips, rounding your buttocks to perfect proportions and your thighs just right. Your calves perfect as they wind down to your dainty feet. What it doesn't show is that your lower lip slightly larger than the upper, when coaxed, parts to reveal an endearing tooth gap trademarking your smile... The striations on your breasts and abdomen from where you nurtured your baby even before its first breath of life, to a perfect being of reasoning and effort. The slight outgrowth on your big toe passed down from generation to generation, brought forth and as your predecessors toiled and tilled the soil that now claims you. It is a shame indeed, that it does not show your eyes, deep set and cast like smooth, molten chocolate and just as soft. Bejeweled with a spark of curiosity and quirkiness completely your own As your thick lashes fan out of your skin, often trapping tears that represent your big heart Why hide in your perfect shadow ,when imperfections reveal the beauty of a life uniquely yours? Claim it, own it, Live it...
