kiss these blinded eyes
for I have chosen to close them
to the ugliness of life
to the emptiness of nothingness
yet I feel your warmth
closer than breath
your unique scent unlike
any I can remember
except in reveries
of other times on other shores
lay down with me
in meadows of forgetfulness
where we can at last become
who we are destined to be
for whom have we saved
the depths of our souls?
tell me why we are sealed up
like secret caves in the hearts
of unexplored rock mountiains
give to me what you have given
to no other, your true identity
your beauty and repulsiveness
and your gaze may wander
behind my drawn curtains
into the transparent windows
of a woman by love set free
unashamed to be....simply me
How many a man hadn't wished to hear those words wrapped in tenderness, and yes, the words talk of a desire to go back to other times and other shores when sincerity of feelings was a virtue and not a manipulation from repulsive ones.
The poem could had been going forever, because, one can't stop wishing more.

may wander behind my drawn curtains
into the transparent windows
of a woman by love set free
unashamed to be....simply me".......Truly emotive and beautiful! This is a wonderful romantic piece, filled with gentle desire and tender passions. Uniquely you, Lady La Belle!
