vulnerability, put me in your gallery.
by @darling-iridescence
loving him is poetry
and kissing him is art.
i'm used to being the creator
but being created from the affection
in his hands
and sculpted from intimacy
is a feeling like no other--
he doesn't just look, he sees me
every stray brush stroke
every drawn line
every brilliant color,
down to my skeleton,
he strips me of pretense and glows
with acceptance.
i am a bared soul,
battered and bruised,
shaken and scarred,
but even so--
i'm something beautiful in a gaze
like that.
