Rendered
Rendered
Render me in colours
Reflected by the moon,
Let the white of my smile shine
Against the brown of my frown,
Let the curve of my chin feel the touch of your hand,
While the feel of your breathe warms my soul.
See the dip in my collar bone,
Fill it with your need,
While the slow drip of your desire
Drops in pearls down my spine.
See the dent of my belly button,
The disconnect from my beginning.
Do you see the bulge of my belly?
Childbirth leaves its scars...
My legs like brown branches
Slope down to my toes.
Render me in Colours,
Soften the blow with shadows,
Spray heart across my soul,
Wrap me up in cotton wool.
