Naked

By daliheldthehandofg0d

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Naked something tells me there is more to you than your gaudy jewelry and sycophantic smile your double-knotted laces and your overcooked style your cautious way of driving and how you’re always striving to live up to that something that your mother says she is and I don’t mind that you avoid making eye contact with me cause when you slip and sometimes do in my eyes you see what's clearly true I’d rather see you naked something tells me there is more to you than your tidy cursive and respect for the law your unconfident aura and your trips to the mall your healthy way of eating and how you’re always cheating yourself out of what is yours but your mother says is hers I’ll never forget the night or the beauty that I saw as I watched your soul shining through your old abandoned reluctance to stand before me naked GBE Written April 14th, 2001 © on Oct 27 2001 06:05 PM PST   10 • 0
