#616 — Shame;

This shameless vessel,
Fashioned out of one handful,
Of scattered loam,
Ooze its fill of puff and hubris —
Yet, held in the embrace,
of its naked reality,
It trembles and crumbles,
To dust, in utter disgrace.

#484 — Carved On Stone;

Their temples their minds,
Naked souls and bleeding hearts,
Poets dwell alone.

#400 — I’ve Seen It All (in my mind);

Do come
Naked to me;
I am blind in your love.
In this blindness even that isn’t new
To me.
