Come Undone



You have already stripped me bare
My body with you I now do share
Now you want to know my thoughts
And all the emotions that I have sought
You want to know more about me
But you don’t share to same degree
You haven’t come undone so far
I just feel more naked than you truly are
 
Not sure if you’re scared or hiding
Trusting me could not be your liking
Maybe I am not the one in your view
Not someone to share all about you
Let me know what I can do more
So you can let me walk thru your door
I am an open book in your hand
Add your pages there, let it expand
 
Life was empty, but then you came along
Giving me a song to sing, a purpose to belong
But moving slow are you in your called process
Why not just take my hand, together progress
Tell me all your dark hidden secrets
All your fantasies and forbidden regrets
Life is fun and true when it can be shared
So let down your inhibitions as I am all bared

I always apologize for the length of my text as that’s the best way for me to communicate rather than verbally!! Not a man of many words but still manage to doodle when in mood to write, which is rare!! I am not even sure if what I scribble is poetry or even what form or just words that rhyme!! To me writing is an art, a sign of creativity and a means of expression. I don't really think that anyone can just write without any feelings, without having felt, without having lived, experienced or cherished. Whatever one writes, there is some amount of a persons own feelings and presence or of those around them, indicated in the works. So I am thankful to all the people in my life and those yet to come for having given me life, love, happiness and even pain. At-least I have had the opportunity to feel it , live it and express it, whatever it maybe. Cheers! more…
