Get Naked

I don't know about you guys, but I miss being vulnerable to someone who I trust completely. MAN do I miss it. How better to be cared for? Showing what you're working with, and being honest about it. Now I must admit to not truly being comfortable with putting my feelings in someone else's hands, but boy would I like to be free to. Sheesh. So scary. So freeing. Like jumping off a cliff. I hate heights though...dang.


Shed all that tough skin
and let me see you
in....side out
how bout
we chop away at our old
ways and means
let's leave the scene
behind and do our
duty to build
a new community.
start over
Where you can love me
like you did
when I was young
and creating heaven
as you leveled hell

let the past stay there
right where
we can see it
try hard not to be it
again
Bucks and Mammies, hoes and tricks, bitches and niggaz, baby mama and baby daddy.
Not rely on it
or sit idly by for it
and not let it go
should it dictate what and
who we want to be
to each other?

can we undo
all the madness of
our former selves
and restock our shelves
with canned goodness
disciplined, heat seeking
cradling, deep thinking,
honest, swallowing, soaking
deep drinking in, kinda love
storing it high for hard times

I'll shed all my tough skin
put my fist down and let you see me
in....side out
how bout
we lay the way we used to
ear to chest and just rest
I feed you you feed me
basking and and recharging
in energy we create cell
to cell and soul to soul
we already know

know all the ugly parts
and jagged edges
all the fear and defenses
we met them long time ago
let me touch your feet
as i sit at them
hug my waist tight
with both arms
as you hunker down
for a deep rest,,,,,,

Where you can love me
like you did
when I was young
and creating heaven
as you leveled hell
