Naked

Heartbreak was my favorite song; I didn’t know how to move on

I hid myself behind my towel, ashamed of crying for a silly boy

My words were precise, my feelings expressed in a sentence too short

And deep down I knew it was essential for me to be naked

Not to be exposed, not to show off the curves on my body

But because I have a million scars that I am not ashamed of

Because I want you to see me for who I am, and where I've been

Because I got back up after being body slammed against the pavement

Because I am woman and I am strong



Love is my favorite song...and I remember the words to it now

The weak of my knees every time that you kiss me, so sweetly

The jubilant jump of my heart, when your number's on my caller ID

The small things that truly make me believe again; your smile

Knowing that the way you make me laugh is going to make it all worthwhile

You are beautiful to me, more than what I've been praying for

Sweet taste of Heaven, a friendship that I adore



I can’t believe I am falling in Love!



It’s all quite all right with me, acting silly like a schoolgirl, see?

It’s not too hard once you find the one you really want to be with

To recognize luck didn’t strike this time, it’s more like destiny

And I hope you’re more than just inspiration for my poetry…

That your love will last me for years to come;



Wrinkles and all



Because you’re the sweetest song, that’s been sung by my lips

Because I am standing here, naked before Thee

My Dedication

The day we met I knew you would be the one,
So I take it back to where it all began
A million stories and how we came to meet
Placing our current problems on the backseat
I felt myself go; falling, slowly, for you
Your hands around my waist, I knew was the cue
As your lips, came closer and closer to mines
A taste so heavenly, I felt it down my spine.
We walked hand in hand, down the crowded sidewalks
Whispering sugary portmanteaus, our sweet talk
Our finals goodbye were said as the moon waved hello
For we understood, that was it, it was the end of the show
Even though this day was a long time ago
Things have not changed, and there are some things you must know
This here is a gift; a chance for this to be more than what it is,
And I don’t wanna move too fast, but I would love to be your Ms
Because I have admired you, since day one when we met
And the things you do to me, well you know they rhyme with met.
More than a dear friend to me, you kept me up when no one noticed me falling
Reminding me that if he did not treat me right, I should go, sort of forestalling.
I want to share endless nights, laying somewhere far away, right beside you,
Fall in love with your voice, as I fall asleep, in your arms, always besides you.
You have touched another side of me; all that is left of the wall is the dusty air
For you have destroyed the barriers, and I am in love with this thing we share.
A piece of you, that was left with me a long time ago, you are my inspiration
And you know better than anyone else that this here is my dedication
Now a candle lit dinner, to the sound of Coltrane, cuz I am into that romantic shit
I’ll will be yours, if you’ll be mines, together baby boy, we’re gonna be a smash hit.
