I stand before you, naked,
Free of clothes, or masks,
Yet, for each truth laid bare,
You still feast with your eyes
Upon my soul, not skin,
Before you, I am truly stripped,
For lies do not become me,
With you, and only you,
My heart, and soul, and mind
Are clear to see, to touch,
As the skin upon my back

beautiful....very touching...naked and raw. Nicely done.

very nice
when you finally find the one you can really open up to...life becomes so much more and the games you might have played in the past seem trivial! Great job and good luck! The Shaker

Thank you!
It is wonderful indeed to find that one person that you're comfortable letting down ever mask with, and who would see through them even if you didn't.
