Inamorata of naked heart
It is you my beloved
that I seek
of naked heart
calling you beloved
knowing you fully not
enchanted with caprice
of lips and heart
of breasts and fingers
Sometimes I think
it is far better
to love a stranger
entranced by gifts
one at a time
Always be mysterious
my beloved
and stay a foreigner
I harken thee
beloved poet
gazing upon
lips luscious
desiring them
to be fastened
to mine
for ecstatic eternity
Will I be damned
for loving you my flower
loving you without
full knowledge of you
engaged by your mystery
and your words
those sensuous words
that captivate
me in mental epiphany
devouring me
before I can digest them
I am consumed
By your fire
picturing your
fingers intertwined
in mine
in our imagination

Feeding off nakedness
feeding off
nakedness
waking erect
as desire
precedes ability
to make love
for there
is no romance
in a friendship
despite the want
to
ask you to take me
into arms
even as your
intel
ligence
forgives my lust
belying all thoughts
of the moment
and any
greater truth
aryan race
forgive my jewishness

Naked Soul version 2
I am willing to
stand here naked
in front of you
and wear nothing
not even humility
I stand without benefit
of mental clothing
a soul free of pretense
naked soul
bare of essentials
coverings normally taken
for granted I have shed for you
look at me
I know it is not
easy to look
in the eyes of a naked man
I know it is not easy
but do it anyway
look at me
naked mind
that stands
before you
I want you to
look at me naked
so I can see
you the same way
as your eyes betray
rich green copper
secrets no longer
hidden by slumber
I stand before you
more naked than
when I was born
My eyes wet
with your tears
Look at me
I beseech you
Here are my flaws and
here is my beauty
here are my mistakes
here is my health
here are my hates
here is my smile
here is me
a naked soul
standing before you
empty handed
empty of thoughts
No longer masked
Naked to your lust
a soul unadulterated
unassuming ; unabridged
Natural naked soul
uncovered
and then
going quietly with
the wind and the rain
