You will come to me
in the starkness of
a winter night,

the somber moon
dividing herself
between the shadows
of the barren trees,

and i will stand naked among them,

unmasked, baring all
beneath your eyes of desire,

as i will have counted
a trilogy of circular moons,

i will give myself to you then
lovingly, without reservation,

as the branches beg
the descending darkness
to cradle their extremities,

i will play your whore
as i meet your eyes,

and stand shamelessly before you
devoid of all earthly trappings,
longing to be honored by your approval,
praying you find me virginal.

The moons can make us all feel a little circular at times. But seriously, the write had that feel, like intentionally placing aside everything, but those inner desires. We all have them and we all WANT to let them loose...nice writing here.

If nothing is something
then everything is
our thoughts and feelings
and all that exists.

to taste the gift of acceptance of the raw of ourselves - even if by ourselves

you write with magic quill and spell binding words -

Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you.  Joy is a state of mind.

The heat of autumn, a subliminal melt of inhabitions...just as the seasons drop their clothes, so too, does the self drop it's shields.

Wonderful write.

Dear Michele, oh ... while typing in the reply box I notice your observation for the Critiques, it says "I'm just a shy girl - please be gentle"!

There is such charm in mixing shyness and passion. This touching piece shows this so eloquently!

You write with great poetic power. No shyness here.

Love and hugs. Margherita

the pale flesh of a
   single naked rose
      buried within its
         bush of thorns ...

  
   These words left my skin prickling as I awake.
