My love comes from me

Not inspired by many women before me

Or experiences of romance with many lovers

But the love I crave to give myself

Delicate yet furious touches

The desires I know I am deserving of

The love I have for myself 

When my body dances in sunshine

The love I have for myself

When I frolic in the wood’s flower bowl

The love I have for myself

When waves lap over my salty body

How I become slick with sweat

Joyous tears from my eyes

The great love I always give back to myself
