Laid Bare

[Stella]

When the flower blooms
hidden in the mist
like your love for him
not yet ever kissed,

it’s all a fantasy,
all a delusion

until

the mist disappears
and there you are
in your nakedness,

still un-kissed
but flowering
with no veil to hide
and he sees you bare,

and the mist was never
really there.


(Think i have been reading to many of Cohen's poems..lol)

A beautifully penned and very sensual poem, Stella. Love the closing lines.

[Karin Anderson]

A sultry fantasy that brilliantly exposes a lover who hides, and you have inspired me to read Leonard Cohan's poems too thank you Stella!

[Cindy]

I love it. I too will have to read some of Cohen's poems.

[Nightmute]

A sensual air given voice in this awesome write, Stella. When bared, our souls can shine so beautifully, Ma'am.

[Joseph Anderson]

The sensuality engendered in this poem is on an ethereally, divine plain and certainly inoffensive to anyone.A delight

[Seema Chowdhury]

An expressive write, nicely composed.
