your breasts
Breast, especially the female breast, often in contexts relating to physical nurture (nourishing a child) or sexual attractiveness/intimacy. In poetry, the term typically carries both literal and figurative connotations, including affection, sensuality, or fertility. The word does not connote motherly identity per se, but focuses on the body part itself, sometimes used euphemistically or as a symbol within love poetry.
