WITH MY BODY

By: MARGARET SITAWA

With my mind, I think of you
Building castles of our future
Recreating memories of the past

With my eyes, I see us
Growing closer by the day
Leaving behind what is gone

With my nose, I breathe you
Smelling the scent of your skin
Inhaling the presence around you

With my mouth, I kiss you
Speaking of you in good ways
Talking to you in all ways

With my ears, I hear you
Listening to your unsaid words,
Hearing your unspoken thoughts

With my heart, it beats for you
Filling me up with the warmth of you
To you, it belongs

With my hands, I write of you
Pouring out what is in me
Letting my secrets out to you

With my tummy, I carry yours
What is a little of me and a little of you
What is only for me and for you

With my legs, I walk to you
Choosing only you, above all else
You, who only does it for me,

With my body, I give to you
To be with, to take care of
To bond with and be one with
