crawling in the desert of thirst
i ask for only honesty first
needing the nutrients that restore
authenticity, heart, of that, a bit more
when will misconceptions be gone
and fellow understanding dawn
we live too defensively to gain rapport
authenticity, heart, of that, a bit more
passionately, i want to awake
and live for substantivity's sake
perfection a natural contour
authenticity, heart, of that, a bit more
i search the depths of your eyes and implore
authenticity, heart, of that, a bit more
that opening stanza rocks...honesty and authenticity make for fertile ground in relationships...i echo your refrain.
ReplyDeleteThe holy grail of relationships, isn't it...to be honest, to feel ABLE to be honest, to love without fear and just be ourselves. You've captured that desire perfectly.
ReplyDeleteI have an award at my blog for you if you'd like it. (Will post shortly)
ReplyDelete"we live too defensively to gain a rapport"
ReplyDelete....oh pain of my heart.
Such poignant words
to describe the loneliness
of the together-yet-fearful.
Powerful.
