Unmasked

I am a woman
of few worldly goods
they matter not to me
this, you understood
the best I have
is my heart
and many words
I unscramble to call art
and to you
I pour them both out
page after page
clothing your soul, no doubt
I dress you in the lightest silk
to breathe and reveal
a love so visible
real,nothing to conceal

"The heart is the toughest part of the body, tenderness is in the hands." Carolyn Forche'

ms slick...
you bare your edges
and don't even shiver
though your eyes are wild
with fear..

The only way to love ... totally and without reservation
I loved it, as ususal

Fool, said my Muse to me, look in thy heart and write.

lovely as usual, Lady..
I'm sighing over here.

How grave is my condition, for I cannot find the words to say, I need you so.
