Naked

The dancing skin on my weakening thighs
My breathy weeping and short, muttered cries
The craving and yearning I’ve grown to despise…

This is all happening because

The quivering chills that flirt with my spine
The soft, secret prayers for you to be mine
The red, haunting dreams that burn in my mind…

I’ve lifted the blanket off the cage

The weakness I feel when I melt in your eyes
The surrender inside that my mind denies
To know that acceptance could be my demise…

And now I’m exposing myself

The movement my heart makes in both awe and fear
The tempo of music whenever you’re near
The sweet harmony I can both feel and hear…

For the first time, and It’s like I’m…

To dabble with feelings so hard to refrain
To light spark into fire, and burn love once again
To let ‘secret me’ out and let ‘old me’ remain…

Naked.

…Is to stand here naked without going insane.

Thank you passing shadows...

this poem is very personal, and i was nervous about sharing it.

Very nice... "I’ve lifted the blanket off the cage." Excellent use of metaphors! Grover.

This is so well-written.  The metaphors are very good, but the honesty especially shines through.  You certainly captivated your feelings here.  Well done.

Kristin Eve - I could sense that this was personal when reading, but at times it's good to share...

^*And now I'm exposing myself*^

What a wonderful and scary thought all at once!!  This was a lovely poem and it really depicted your sense of shyness versus your inner confidence.  Brilliant!!

**We've all been there**
