Power of SHE

Thick skin falls in pieces To reveal a molten liquid center A beauty never gazed upon by another A glow of heat and pain and ...love Hidden from prying eyes Kept safe from strangers and "loved ones" alike Permanent fists grip tightly As the center boils hot upon its release And a trickle becomes a flood In the right hands... In the right heart The stiff grip loosens And new skin, soft and supple Replaces the old Stronger than one could have imagined Sweeter than one could hope A butterfly against the odds And a struggle ends in .....love
