This Is Her Body

By Hojas en Blanco

this is her body, 

hers to please & hers to give

textured skirt, high-leg slit

soft chest & bare shoulders

this is her body, 

hers to explore & hers to adorn

with jewels of gold & silver,

red desert flowers

& then perhaps a kiss

this is her body, 

hers to admire & hers to know, 

amber-gilded raven

draped in mulberry silks

petals reaching their bloom

mirrors of bronze 

her reflection, her body 

she invites him in
