This morning when I woke <br />I choked <br />on the freshness of your breath <br />that serenity <br />in your smile <br />stripped me bare <br />and your thoughts <br />dabbed their pristine fingers <br />inside my dirty mind <br /> <br />I lay there panting <br />wondering how you’d react <br />to what you found <br />as you strip searched me <br />down to the bloody raw <br />and flinched <br />at all the the ugliness <br />I guess <br />I just can't hide <br />my grubby nakedness <br />from you<br /><br />Sheila Knowles<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/naked-2/
