Her smile,
Eats away at my walls.
Look at me,
Exposed
…but safe

Exposed but safe…there’s true poetry found in that statement. Seldom do we feel both at the same time…special stuff! Powerful little weave, Poet!
Thanks Natasha! 🙂

Yes!! The small subtle things make a major difference.
its ok to feel exposed when you know it is safe…can actually be rather fun you know…smiles.
Hahaha, oh yes I know!
Your work should be introduced into South African schools English syllabus.
That is a very big compliment. Thank you:)
Short and quite sweet–walls need to come down in many places. Enjoyed it.
Simply put…and that’s the way it is sometimes! Very good!
The potency of love and trust so concisely captured!
