ODE TO MAMMARY GLANDS

My breasts are tender

Yet they tender

From cradle to king sized

Of call to babies

Mildly they suckle

Possessively they kindle

And all I do is bear tenderly

Caressing your cheeks

As I surrender my bosom

Tendering all my life

On plains where blooms flourishes

Rendering tenderly they flapped with pride

I wear my nudity with decency

My busts no longer hold this world in firm delight

My nectar shrivel to earth with fulfilment

And nature flagged it down with grace

For I bloomed for its savour

I wane from its pleasure
