Inspired by Chanti's beautiful poem: Click here to read Chanti's poem: Laid bare

---

if by chance
you laid your passions bare,
or if by chance
you stopped thinking
for awhile;

dearest love, you know ...
that i would still...
be there

opened by your words,
rapt with your sweet guile;

unable to conceal
a single thought
that i would feel...

for unto you,
my heart is borne
upon the warmth
of sacred morn,

and unto you
i would reveal
deepest places
i fear to share

for i know...
the blood
that is my love
is safe within
your hands that care.
