“Come here
and take off your clothes
and with them
every single worry
you have ever carried.
My fingertips on your back
will be the very last thing
you will feel
before sleeping
and the sound of my smile
will be the alarm clock
to your morning ears.
Come here
and take off your clothes
and with them
the weight of every yesterday
that snuck atop your shoulders
and declared them home.
My whispers will be the soundtrack
to your secret dreams
and my hand
the anchor to the life
you will open your eyes to.
Come here
and take off your clothes.”
– Tyler Knott Gregson
“I will save you
And you will save
Me too
We will do this
Crawl out from this
Place we’re in
By breathing life
Back into each
Others lungs each day
By furiously pounding
Our hearts against
The world as one
Until
The whole damn thing
Is painted red hot
And wet
With
Desire.”
– Michael Xavier, Desire
“Love doesn’t make the world go round; love is what makes the ride worthwhile.”
– Shannon L. Alder
“Love is the true state of the human heart. When we love, we unguard our hearts. We open ourselves up to the world without any restraint. When passion flows, desires stir, our earthy senses become dull and our ethereal self becomes illumined. At this stage, we are naked, totally naked, with little or no covering of ego.”
– Salil Jha, Naked Soul: The Erotic Love Poems
“Just because you love someone doesn’t mean you have to be involved with them. Love is not a bandage to cover wounds.”
