Body-Discussion : Relationships

written by Poet : EC


I want to be loved for my soul, you say
my personality and thoughts, not my body

So your perfect body isn't you? I say
Your buttocks dancing rhumba - and whatever?
Your arms and shoulders lifting heavy objects?
Your hands handling objects - and whatever?
That isn't you?

It's my body, not my soul, you say, looking stern
Oh, I say, but your soul lives in your body
don't demean the one by denouncing the other
