nakedness is not just the absence of clothes.
be naked with your soul.

I'm eighteen years old and I don't understand ***.

I don't understand how people undervalue the thing that is literally one of the most important actions in this life.

You shouldn't bare your body, if you aren't willing to bare your soul. You should be comfortable naked.

And by naked, I mean, you should be okay with telling them all the reasons you hate yourself and let them tell you it's okay. You should be naked with the fact that your family hurt you and you grew up feeling lonely.

Be naked because you grew up with so, so many saddening secrets and now you find it so, so difficult to be naked with your soul.

I am trying to be naked
and I struggle with openness.

There is no point taking your clothes off to only hold the weight of life on your chest.

It breaks my heart to hear stories of friends that haven't grasped this concept. They're too embarrassed to share their secrets and the first time they made 'love' they wore a t-shirt.

don't miss out on the best things in life, get naked.

run into the sea with me
so I can taste the salt on your skin
I want that tide
to meet as the waves of our lips
crash together

let me fall into you

I'll run my hands over your body
as if I'm looking for
one particular piece of sand,
but I won't be disappointed
if I can't find it

now, see
the sea is beautiful
but I'd rather drown
in the ever changing colours
of the windows of your soul

i like my body when it is with your
body. It is so quite new a thing.
Muscles better and nerves more.
i like your body.  i like what it does,
i like its hows.  i like to feel the spine
of your body and its bones,and the trembling
-firm-smooth ness and which i will
again and again and again
kiss, i like kissing this and that of you,
i like, slowly stroking the,shocking fuzz
of your electric furr,and what-is-it comes
over parting flesh….And eyes big love-crumbs,

and possibly i like the thrill

of under me you so quite new

Humanity i love you
because you would rather black the boots of
success than enquire whose soul dangles from his
watch-chain which would be embarrassing for both

parties and because you
unflinchingly applaud all
songs containing the words country home and
mother when sung at the old howard

Humanity i love you because
when you’re hard up you pawn your
intelligence to buy a drink and when
you’re flush pride keeps

you from the pawn shop and
because you are continually committing
nuisances but more
especially in your own house

Humanity i love you because you
are perpetually putting the secret of
life in your pants and forgetting
it’s there and sitting down

on it
and because you are
forever making poems in the lap
of death Humanity

i hate you

I am just a dandelion
pretending to be a
daffodil.

I say I love you when I tell you to drive safely
          stick to the speed limit
          make sure your belt is on.
I say I love you when I tell you to be careful on nights out
         watch how much you're drinking
          tell me when you're home safe.
I say I love you when I tell you that you had better study
          your future is just as important as ours.
I say I love you when you've fallen asleep early
           leaving you messages to read when you're awake
            hopefully a smile will start off your day.
I say I love you when I tell you that you just do not realise just how lucky I am to even know you.

I wish I had more time to show you I love you
because I'm still not very good at saying *I love you
