My Body Discriminates

My body discriminates.
It detects the sound of your silence
And impact of your auditory impressions.
It reads the prints of your touch
And knows the feel of your presence.
It speaks your body's language
And hears the rhythm of your motions.
It translates your nonverbal cues
And responds to your emotions.
It favors the taste of your kiss
And certifies the quality of your lips.
It catches traces of your fragrance
And embraces your scent.
My body discriminates.
It knows you,
Intimately and completely.
My body finds you preferable.
Everything about you,
To my body, is perceptible.
