Our First and Last Love...

Our First and Last Love...

A Poem by PadfootBlack

Short, stubby fingers 
graze faded white stretch marks 
zigzags on the hips like thunderbolts 
while eyes of wave-crest blue 
crinkle at the edges 
when constantly bitten lips 
part
to reveal straight teeth 
that form a crooked smile. 
Pale thighs gently meet like old friends
as feet slide together 
causing small, dainty toes 
to wiggle and giggle 
like gossiping schoolgirls. 
Thin, light hairs traverse the torso
across soft belly flesh and circling the navel 
shuddering to height 
at a lover's slightest touch. 
Muscles outline beneath the skin
shapely ovals in the arms and legs 
admired in the mirror with a grin 
visible signs of hard work paying off. 
Mischievous, crisscrossing black hairs above the eyes 
keep the tweezers busy 
but there's always one or two unruly threads left.
Collarbones protrude just enough to be 
caressed by someone's lips 
and sit below the tender throat that 
creates a deep, heartfelt laugh. 

This is me, and I am beautiful.

S T O P. This is gorgeous and YOU are gorgeous and I'm utterly lost in the magnificence of it all. I keep trying to choose a favorite phrase to point out but I'm afraid I'd end up quoting the entire poem, though I especially like "causing small dainty toes to wiggle and giggle like gossiping schoolgirls" and I especially especially like "to reveal straight teeth that form a crooked smile" - your genius overwhelms me
