My absoutely favourite of yours. Vunerability shows such beauty and a rawness that is irresistible. I love it!
Thank you, Pixie! It reflects the love and tenderness others have instilled in me.
Thank you, EB. High praise! The beauty and rawness are not always easy to identify and reveal….
Vulnerability is the essence of humanity, the root of both love and fear. Beautiful.
Thank you, Winter Fare. I agree with you. Sometimes we need that vulnerability to surface as we journey between the love and fear…until we find the humanity and beauty!
Awwwwwww
Hit me in the protective mumma bear feels... and I relate so strongly..
You float and then you soar
So sweey written my friend 💛
Gorgeously penned, thank you for putting my work on your reading list. Keep writing
Every one of us is vulnerable in some way! Thanks for putting it in words
Welp, that got a favorite. Sums it up nicely. Might not be on the correct site, since authors are completely invulnerable <cough cough hack Choke Wheeze Hurk!>
'Scuse me. ahrmmm.
Anyway, nicely done!
Oh yes, vulnerability....expressing our needs and wants can be so difficult for some of us. And when we meet someone who is unafraid, it can be inspiring! Beautiful poetry, thank you.
A wonderful piece. I love how a word so often attributed with often negative connotations is turned in tone.
Awesome!! Paul, I've been writing poetry for close to 45 years. I was pretty crappy when I started but for the last maybe 25 years I've been writing at my full capability, if that's the right term. I don't criticize people normally. I love classic rock music & grew up in the 70's. Compared to all the poetry I've read on this site I sincerely believe you & I are The Best on this site. If you don't me saying so I love your poetry & eroticism in it. But in the same vein a little less is sometimes more if you understand what I'm saying. Forgive me for saying this but most of the poetry on this site is SHIT!! You however have a BEAUTIFUL way with your words!! Keep up the good work, Tory....Satyr61.
Beautiful truths here @Paul4play! Being vulnerable is one of the most important components to living a satisfying life!
Very nice piece Paul! The looking into ones self is something that I’m identifying with more and more as of late. Beautiful.
You gave my material a chance so I thought I'd return the favor! Turns out this was exceptionally deep and well written. Loving others does indeed require loving ourselves,or at least loving pieces of ourselves. It's a struggle to achieve that but worth it!
