NAKED

It was dark
The sun was covered
So I presumed it was dusk
And I gawked at the body naked

The body was light skinned and the face wasn't skinny
Perfect dimples on the cheek, though there were no smiles
In the vitreous humour laid brown iris
That could compel a crowd to follow for over a mile
The hairy eyebrow made it subtle
The nose was placed exactly in the middle
The carefully rounded ears could hear even before one spoke
And just this face alone made my jaw broke
So i took a break and had a bottle of coke

Back in time
I realized the neck was like a vine
The chest was broad and fine
As the abdomen house more packs than mine
I counted, six to be exact, and noticed they were in line
I was marveled at the navel
'Cos it look like precious marble
And the shoulders granted a puzzle
That took time to unravel

The waist line caved downwards from the hip
And vanished below a small piece of cloth that covered the deep
The laps were thick and strong
The knees were intact
The legs were sleek and in form
And the toes connected to the feet
Together with the sole beneath it
Which were at the mercy of the stones in the street
Were just where they belonged

After three hours, the sky cleared
Almost everyone had fled
But i still stood and stared
Then i realized the body glared red
It wasn't the complexion, but blood instead
The hands were stretched by human might
And pivoted to keep them from falling
The laps were close and tight
As one long nail held both legs to curb walking

There and then, i stood still
For I've witnessed on Calvary's hill
The execution of Christ Jesus
On an old rugged cross

T-DZANIE!
