naked

Longing

All this longing,

For lands unseen

And people unknown,

For a self untainted

By everyday hassle.

 

 

I´m longing for naked pages,

Naked toes

And naked spaces.

 

If I could catch my spirit

I´d bottle it down

And stare at it for hours

Pull a face at it

And maybe caress it

Hush, little baby,

Don´t you cry.

Trembling

My flesh is trembling with desire,

I reach out for you

And smile a crooked smile.

 

My  alter ego

Bursts into laughter

She takes her full red lips to my ear

And says “get yourself together,

Pleasure is pain and you know it.”

And then she laughs again

“This will only leave you naked,

As soon as he´s torn down your guard

He´ll step on your soul

With dirty rubber boots.”

 

I answer her defiantly

“No pain, no gain!

I´ll give it all, once again

Like I always do,

I never tire,

It´s how you play this game.

 

Let him have my heart

Rip it all out

If that´s what it takes

I´ll try my hand at it.”

New beginnings

Let’s hold hands and eat oysters
Talk about silly stuff,
I like the little things the best.

I’ll wear a pretty dress for you,
And let the soul be naked,
You seem to be the kind that stays
But then again,
All men seem enamoured
With me in the beginning.
