Raw Grace

You took from melast nightall I had been hiding,tucking and pulling for yearsso no one would ever seethe real me…undone,uncovered,unpolished,unskillful.You witnessed the raw graceof every emotion,submissive and passivein your presenceas your strong armscradled my heartto this reality:I rarely allow anotherto seethe delicateness of mein moments when my soulflies to heavenfor one,two,perhaps three seconds…as…I…come…undone."At the touch of a lover, everyone becomes a poet."- Plato
