Bodies

i fall for people
not bodies

for minds and hearts
not the bits and pieces of society's parts
i know
seeing is believing
and i fall for what i see

i fall for the soft curve of a smile
for the sweet crush of palm on palm
not the sharp corners of ambiguity
not a black and white picture
no grey shades for me

i fall for colours
for the slow amble of a carefree soul
for the timid way
the sun peeks through
the cracks in a broken face

i fall for humans
not Adam
not Eve
no garden for me

because I fall for me
not for anyone else

i fall
and i define this on my own
i define it
not by the words explaining the science behind it
not by the math
of you and me
but by the music

i fall for love
and for need
and for strength
and for promise
not for right or wrong

i fall for minds
i fall for hearts
i fall for souls
i fall for humans

i fall for people
not bodies
