La Verite De L'Amour

I fantasized you’d found me
Caressing every curve with care
fascinated by my flaws
Realizing what it is 
to be with a woman so real
unlike those portraits of perfection 
like manufactured mannequins 
Not today’s definition of desirable
Shoulders and hips too broad 
with a bit of a belly
resembling a Rubens painting
refusing to starve myself into submission 
to become a slave to an impossible ideal
Your touch sent twinges and tingles 
through every needful nerve
passionately possessing every part of me
our ethereal, eager essences 
propelled to a higher plane of existence
Two wanderers in the wilderness 
finally finding what we’d sought
after so many years of yearning
La vérité de l'amour
