How I long to unbutton you, Lady, to slowly peel off the layers of your being and feel you, body and soul, naked and true, beneath my exploring hands, touching the core of who you really are, there where you are hidden beneath it all. I think, Lady, you have been buttoned against the world too, too long. Open the inside to the outside. Take a chance. A world at bay is no world at all. Nothing of value can be learned at a distance. Direct my fingers; they are willing if you are. Bare hands, bare hearts, bare bodies: to open, always better than to close.
