Naked Questions

She undressed in full length reflection
No stretchmarks, but no longer the resiliency of maiden skin
Perky exists now only in her attitude
Will he still love her in the harsh light of day?
Will she still be beautiful to him when he holds her close?
She weeps for all her imperfections
He is so beautiful, so young, so strong
She wants him in the brilliant sunlight
To memorize his body, his temple where she worships
Will he still want her, want to enter her body ripe with years?
Will she still seem the flower he wants to possess when the bloom is off the rose?
How she aches to see him standing in her doorway, waiting to be loved
Their love is so deep, so pure, it fuels her every movement
He has affected her, transformed her
Her very walk now sensual and deliberate under his devotion
He surrounds her and she wears his love like a mantle of stars in the clear night sky
Only the light traveling to her over the miles
a hint of the true fire that burns between them
She keeps her body smooth and ready for his caress
She waits, content
He orchestrates
and she trusts

They miss each other
They are selfish like that
