Embodied Heart

With skin the color of sand

From the beach front shores 

Eyes as blue as the sky

To you there’s so much more

To discover than your exterior 

Your outer physique 

I’d rather explore your heart

Than to offer a critique 

Of your feet 

amongst other unique things 

Your facial indentations 

That gives smiling its own ring

Of distinction and flare 

Which both cheeks hold,

The one in the chin though 

Keeps my soul in its hold

Up let’s focus on that smile

That lights up any room

Making my heart both leap

And long for that moon

Shape it makes

When your eyes look at me

Yeah, you have a nice heart 

That your body shows clearly
