By Love Alone

The moment she shed her armour, 

Mary transformed, freed at last

from that den of suffering, 

her rough points now softest skin.

She lay wrapped in her lover,

dressed only in moonlight, 

bound by love alone.

For the "Helena's Blue Rose Cafe (10/40)" contest.

love transforms a woman...she becomes bold even reckless to whatsoever blocks her from her beloved...and it is for her lover that she'll risk all that belongs to her...just for his love...shredding the protective armour of her family she finds freedom at lost in his arms...beautiful....

Free at last.... this is a very good write.

I quite enjoyed this one. The personalization of using the woman's name was genius, it truly made the poem. Had you only said "she" transformed, the punch would have been lost. Also, the use of the name "Mary" has many connotations and ideals...it could be just a name, it could be a metaphor for something else. This was a piece of freedom, and with wings it carried me away. Nicely done.

Beautifully penned! I love the language. Great work!

To face our greatest fears and overcome them are one of the things that make us invincible. We strive to change ourselves in order to reach our goal and, in turn, we receive our reward in the end. These are well-written verses and congratulations on winning!

I enjoyed this - letting the barrier down. Women want that one man that brings out the brazen primal desires out to enjoy. Nice penning :)
