Where is my coat?

For there is a chill
I need comfort from
And pulling its bulk
Around me will in the least
allow me the touch
Of something warm
on my skin.

It too can hide
At least in part

this face

That betrays
the jagged boil
Of turnings
Inside…

Hand me please
my coat

And turn away

I would not have
anyone see me
this way

I wouldn't turn away fron your face nor your emotions....cloaking is unnecessary..unless for your own comfort

but take a
((hug)) instead

Sometimes a coat will do the job;  other times, a suit of armor...  Left me pondering...

It's like you pulled the feelings out of my heart and put them into a beautiful piece of work.  This is going into my library!  Beautiful write Ron...

i shall not run
nor hide my
eyes
warmed cloak
to fit your
size
for we have
all been
pealed of our
skin
onion seasoned
for letting another
in
