NAKED

I take down the walls
A brick at a time
Your view clear now
I’m exposed
I never knew I could stand
Naked in front of anyone
I am scared … shaking, but
My skin warm in your light
Transparent
My heart & soul visible
To you
My mind free
To make plan with you in them
So much time open now that
I am not wasting it building
The walls
A new world available
For me to walk in
Naked with you
A world of love & intimacy
I don’t cast shadows
On it without my walls
Openings, clearings, pathways
To you
To my depths
My love for you this infinite
Force
A commitment made by
A woman who never
Committed
Feelings felt by a woman
Who had been numb
Naked
A small price to pay
I will strip over & over & over again
For you
I know it is just the beginning
Giving myself over
Removing resistance before it
Occurs
My soft gentle angel
Here to teach me
My loving powerful woman
Here to excite me
Naked I hide nothing from you
Holding it out to you as an offering
All of it … pretty & not
& when the time comes
I too, powerful & solid & bold
In my nakedness
Arms around you
Your protector
Your rock
Your peacemaker
Yours
