‘the most beautiful thing in the world is a woman who loves her body’
I love the soft touch, the soft smile, the soft eyes
soft lips,
Soft curves,
Like a new way to dream,
So truly heavy, the idea of being
Just the idea of having Adam’s name on my breath
So heavy, I can’t wait to catch a breath
Apples in my hand, hanging above my shoulder
Heavy weight of trust
You broke it, you broke it
The apple sliced up, you broke it
You broke it
I feel so heavy yet I’m just like dust
The entire pear of her, so lush and soft and clean
Her soft eyes crush,
You broke it
Brown-Star-Heaven,
I’m rotting in my own hell.

Ache like a rock
mother, cradle and rock did you carry me? You carried me, It was a great pain, did you know that Carrying is a pain that feels sweet dragged into a somber defeat, defined as motherhood, a stalemate, you let them know that it's not a game yet you play Heart carrying a stone inside, soft from the wild river Little layers lost, a gentle destruction It feels numb and hard and soft and with tears, wet and Wild and willful Did you carry it with you

Women are often associated with pear shaped bodies and men with apple shaped. So I really loved the line "The entire pear of her". Your poem was so beautiful!
Really like your descriptive way for a woman Feeling happy but sad for her burden if responsibilities at the same time
