When Will These Love Pains Go Away

Strip me of my barriers

This walls name is insecure

And that one, oh he’s just Toli boy

But the two over there, their job is to block hope and joy

 

Strip me of these stiff brick bars

Which keep me in, and make me hard

I hold my precious heart so near

Well you see it’s fragile, so naturally I take extra care my dear

 

Strip me of these clothes tonight

For the full moon excuses our sins in it’s sinful light

And I ache for you, as you do I

That much you can not deny

 

Strip me of any inhibitions

I want to be completely naked with you

Alone, stripped down in a naked room

With nothing between us, but the light of the moon

 

There’s nothing left for me to hide

You have seen me at my worst, no need for pride

I have embarrassed myself, and felt it’s shame

Yet still you gaze upon me with an admiring gaze

 

A gaze which by the way

I still melt under to this very day.

What would,

we see if we were all stripped naked in body and thought, youre poem asks us to think how we'd feel without any inhibitions, and i think we can be stripped without our clothes ever coming off. But we fear this more than nakedness, so something always stays guarded. Great poem, though personally i would change some of the wording. ie third verse second line{ As a full moon will excuse our lust in it's sinfull light.} got me thinking anyway. .Regards Roscoe..
