Naked

come when you're ready
to be naked,
of all the untruths,
of the pretenses,
of the made-up modesties,
of all the egos

come when you're ready
to be soaked in me,
come when you don't hold back,
come when you are you,
no layers,
come when you don't bother
how naked you are,
before me

come when you're willing
to give up everything,
to risk being disowned,
to own up the path,
you once disowned,
come and let your hair down,
to let the warmth flow
to let heart overflow,
through your eyes
to feel god again

come when you're ready
to be fused with me
come when
not only when the tides
rock your boat
and your world,
but when the breeze
fills your sail
as well

come when you don't bother
how naked you are
and can't wait to be my world,
come when you're ready again
to be where
you belong

come when you're ready
to be naked before god,
to let go of the disdain,
when your heart is pure,
and filled with the naked truth,
come when
you can shed fears and tears,
again

come when you care to feel
how naked i have been
how truth rolled from my eyes,
how my life has flowed
to become yours,
when you can see how
my naked eyes
have longed to meet
your naked eyes,
heart,
and soul
