Beautiful

These men in their dark suits
stroll by me and trip on their own feet
I pass by blankly leaving a scent of lime undulating
This air I poses blinds the sun
and even teenagers peaking puberty
can't resist a look at my curvy walk
I am so beautiful

At night, dancing makes me sweaty
I love this pleasure given by movement
a sexual act of its own
a wave of sensuality feeds off the beat,
the drum my heart plays against my chest
I can feel everything
I look so beautiful

A stolen kiss always gone wrong
my discomfort grows as people stare in awe
it just doesn't feel good enough
it feels I should be hidden
locked inside a precious stone kept in a shadow
until his eyes reveal me in a smile
and make be feel so beautiful

I don't want any one's attention
I don't need to be recognized
I don't care to impress another man
My gut yells I belong to his stare alone
nothing that I give today is in the right place
When I see myself as his to have
to be kept so beautiful

No one inspires a dance
like when his body looks to me under candlelight
I walk swaying my hips hoping he is feeling it
I smell as sweet as he once told me he liked
I drink just enough to stay sober
so I can say no to all his useless contenders
who keep saying "you are so beautiful"

I dance dreaming it is like making love to his soul
I take his hands and place them on my bare waist
our sweetness blending into a new song
as memories place us back in that glass room
our heavenly longing satiates
as angel snowflakes pile around our nest
we are so beautiful

Across the seas lives this yearning
my lungs inhale it's magic churning
My passion won't be able to rest purely
until I can surrender to his call
and I swear that if this isn't real
then my love knows nothing at all
about loving something so beautiful
