Naked
by Linda L. Dowd


I stand naked before thee.
If ye be so desirous of mine flesh,
cast not a stone upon it.
Touch this heart and soul with love,
~ then ye shall taste the sweetness
of my secrets.

Ah, the stone line really took me out. I think of the Middle East where women are stoned to death. Horrible justice.

On the other hand, I can also see in this poem the desire of the woman, but with a warning, be nice, or I won't play.

Dear beautiful Angelo Terrestre, with an extremely elegant presentation there comes your gentle and irresistible voice of a woman and angel that speaks her heart and soul. May your voice be heard and may it contribute to illuminate who needs to be illuminated
Thank you for this little gem and for speaking also my heart here.
Beautifully inspiring!
Love you,
Margherita

My dear Dolphina Margherita ~

You speak with eloquence and grace. Your responses always warm my heart and make me smile. Yes, we are of the same mind and heart.
Thank you my Spirit Sister for the kind words.
