My Beauty

MY BEAUTY Piece by piece I will remove them I will undo them now. I will undress now Like the stripper you wish me to be I will throw them at you Daring you to grab them Measuring how vast your desire is Seeing your indecision on whether To hold the pieces Or to touch my nakedness. I will gently remove my starched headpiece That sits majestically on my head And finger comb my shaggy shrubby hair Knotted lifeless on my head. I will undress now Piece by piece For why should I hide My beauty from your loving eyes? I will with particular care unclasp my gold earrings That have been winking all night at you And leave dark scarred earlobes I will undress now Piece by piece For why should I hide My beauty from your yearning eyes? I will unadorn my neck Tugging away the heavy priceless pearls That have hung around my neck And leave my almost invisible neck Bare to your glance I will undress now Piece by piece For why should I hide My beauty from your worshipping eyes? I will with precision and concision unclasp my floral printed blouse That has fitted me to perfection all evening To reveal my wrinkled saggy breasts That have obeyed the law of gravity I will undress now Piece by piece For why should I hide My beauty from your coveting eyes? I will slowly push my pencil skirt That has hugged my curves adoringly I will sway with it as it travels down Revealing flabby cellulite infected folds of flesh I will undress now Piece by piece For why should I hide My beauty from your worshipping eyes? I will undress now Piece by piece For my beauty Is what really glazes your eyes Not so?
