DRESSED BUT NAKED

Folder: 
JOURNAL#24

the crux

amusement

in wretched bending

tall orders of angst ridden

action descending

with anger in bedded under

the nails

the hand resists defending

ancient world teachings

perhaps

bitter mentions of support

fast receding

I have you

but I don't

you're in my thoughts

but you won't

(admit to, that is )

more tender feelings towards me

ever present is your guard

unarguably

your concern is hard

I can't cross this river

you've damned up in your heart

as such rushing currents would

crush me

and I could never again speak to

you this way

without losing ever further

the love I sought to gain

yours that is

unaggressive

with a smattering of wildly tame

but precious depth

do as you wish

just so you only drown me in but the

deeper currents of your need

and darling thats all I'll ever ask

you fully dressed

but

unabashedly naked inside.............
