Nude Poem by Susan Lacovara

That your eyes see past the skin
That holds me within

That your hands reach not only for my body
But into the very breath of my soul

That your grin stems from seeing my smile
Knowing it was you who put it there

That your aching embrace is comforted
Once returned without hesitation

That your words are the echoes
In the canyons of my heart

That your spirit sets sail on the wind
And on the wings of my affection

That your needs become mine
As I stand before you nude
