STRIP

STRIP

A Poem by EMMIE

Strip for me

Strip away all of your insecurities

Strip for me

Strip away the shame

The shame from your past

Strip for me

Show me what you got

Under those layers of protection

Take off your mask show me the true you

Strip for me

Lay down your worries

Reveal yourself

Be yourself with me

Unveil your wrong doings   

I want to know

I can love a man

But only a man that’s true

Strip for me

Take it off leave nothing on

I want to see your soul naked

Shine with the beauty of the true you

Strip for me

Take it off

Take off the mask  

It’s okay with me

Your flaws are okay with me

It’s okay with me

Strip for me

it is terrifying to think of exposing the deepest part of me.. and yet.. it is the strongest desire.. to have someone that wants ALL of me.. and the price for such acceptance can only be paid with the same coin..

you are an exceptional writer..

I like the feel and the desire of this poem. Hard to strip down fear and real emotion. Few times in a life will we allow someone to see us in real form. No-one know who I'm. Trust is hard to be gain. I like the flow and the desire in your words. Thank you for the amazing poetry.

Strip for me is an ingenius poem which
seek intimacy in the relationship.
Two people cannot be true friends or
lovers without being intimate.
Not intimate only in the sexual sense but
in the personal seese.
Great writing.
See my blog on intimacy.

'Strip for me'. This is so powerful. What makes it even more marvellous is the words being addressed to a man from a woman and you realise than a man can be just as vulnerable...

You could have avoided the repetition of 'It’s okay with me'. Personally I feel it takes off a bit of the shine off this excellent poem...

I enjoyed this

This reminds me of an old lover. He encouraged me to reveal myself in ways I never have before. This is a wonderful poem, I really enjoyed it. :)

Takes a lot of trust to strip in that way for anyone. People have fears of being judged for even one who says they will accept we have to wonder if that acceptance will be offered after the truth is known. It is like picking between three doors and not knowing what is behind any of them. Still we are curious so we offer to turn the other cheek in hopes of getting a glimpse.

It is actually easy to strip I think as poets we do it daily for our readers.

reveal your insecurities...that's a good line...to strip away all the interior is to be honestly revealing so as to be acceptable...nice thoughts
