Skin and...


She is nothing but skin and bones
Flesh on flesh
But matters not her size
Her weight
Her color
Or height

She is beautiful
To him
And to all who see her
She radiates

A Glow
An Energy
That all can see and feel
Her aura is as big as any room she enters
And she fills that room with her presence
Pushing at the walls such that they could burst 
She is uncontainable  

Yes
Just skin and bones 
And a potency  
That overwhelms those lucky enough to encounter her

Shirts


He stopped wearing his heart on his sleeve
And put it on paper
It hurt no less
But saved him on shirts

Every turn


At every turn
He felt lost
Whether it was searching inside
Looking back
Or moving forward
He'd lost himself
And could not seem to find him

Where to look
Next

She stood


She stood there 
Looking
But not quite his way
Just catching him in her periphery 

He didn't notice
Like so many times before
His missed the subtleties of life

Take off


Take off your make-up
Let down your hair
Remove your dress 
Don't hide behind 
Paints and braids and clothes 

I want to see you
Raw
Naked
Unkempt

Not the one 
You present to the world
I want the One 
You wake up with
