In my coming out sensual and free
no longer defined by the perimeters
like my portrait frozen in time
Not an icon on a wall collecting dust
embrace Me for I am very real
not on a pedestal to be looked at
in the pursuit of happiness for
the true meaning of "I Love You"
(c) No Boundaries, Please

This is kind of the opposite of the Portrait of Dorian Grey. The idea of putting someone on a pedestal holds little appeal for me, your earthy attitude is more attractive. There is some good stuff here, it's well thought out.
"No Boundaries, Please" is a look into the heart of a woman who does not want to be restrained, but to live her life as a "REAL" WOMAN"
who doesn't gather dust on a shelf! She is warm and loving, accepting love when it is presented to her. I love the words, she is so perfectly in tune with herself.

Very revealing write in so few lines. I get the feeling of a bird in a cage, flying out the open door to give anyone seeing the sight of the 'real thing,' much more to appreciate than before. Beautiful piece. ~~ Diana
This is a wonderfully authentic poem, a refreshing "take me as I am" look at relationships. Your picture reminds me of a good laugh I had at an ironic mock-up of an old standard: The Gleaners... surely you've seen the picture of the three African-American women stooped over at work in a field gleaning stray bits of straw... (back-breaking work) and in this mock up, the closest one is cut out of the picture and she is resting with her feet out of the frame, looking straight at you with a cigarette in her hand (obviously on a break)... No boundaries, please... indeed! Always a delight, dear Vivian.
