I dance naked in your presence Exposure a thing I have not given before I shield myself no more I swim in the pool of completion No longer looking for the shallow end Venturing to transcend Warmth of light wraps me I let it brown the white of skin Letting out what hid within My rebirth, penance of another’s sin I breathe easier now Feeling the hand upon the small of back I have taken from self, what I feared in lack The walls no longer creep and recede The gift has stilled the darkness of doubt Clarity sights me of that which I was without I dance naked before you Wild in abandonment of desire I become ambient in consumption of fire In this the rebirth of my require "cast me gently into the morning, for the night has been unkind" |

Remember, a true lover sees all of us whether we try to hide or not, and accepts all they see. That makes any kind of nakedness a matter of window dressing, because all is known, and all is loved already. |
