A page from my book. (A Coffee Stained heart)
The art was done with my regular morning coffee and ink.
The poem title is “Come Naked Before Me.”
She would dress up for me,
fresh makeup and hair so smooth…
For so very long she’d play the game
of trying to be pleasant.
Eventually I told her
that she was prettiest in nothing at all.
She stripped down before me,
and kicked off her heels.
Her body naked before me was something I adored,
but what I had meant was so much more.
I wanted her naked before me in body and soul.
Her everything raw and real without any pretending
so I could absorb her truth and make it mine.
