On Oceans of Blue

i wore my new shoes today
shiny.
red.
killer.
dagger toes
sky high
lead inside pencil heels
my hips sway
my legs chisel
my body sings
my ego breaths
heads turn
eyes avert
and i feel
wanted
loved
desired
needed
then…
…used

i wore my new dress today
silky.
black.
killer.
ocean floor low
route 66 curves
model legs
hugged my hips
clung to my tummy
animated my body
magnified my ego
heads turn
eyes avert
and i feel like
an idol
a goddess
a beauty
an adoration
and then…
… an item

i wore my my old sweats today
blue.
worn.
tired.
stains are abundant
wrinkles are ample
age is substantial
my feet drag
my arms hang
my body hunches
my egos hides
heads turn
eyes avert
and i feel
old
ugly
repulsive
foul
and then…
… i see you
and i feel
loved
and then…
… adored
