               G


His grey-blue eyes

      illuminated by

                the light,

     saw me as I am.


                   Naked,

    I sat before him,

         unclothed of

         false dreams,

      and white lies.

Simple poem yet complex in its meaning, methinks. To be so still, yet feel so comfortable sans posing or making believe is such a glorious feeling. Feeling whole, at peace, withou facade just Self yet Everything. That is what makes the world glow as it goes around and around in love. Your pen struck gold with this

there's a naivete to this poem, unlike other works of yours i've read. but your writing still has a way to reach my soul. vulnerability is expressed exquisitely, unflinchingly. i could see the grey-blue eyes and the whole room. a very dramatic vignette.

This is profound... with few words you have captured one's truly vulnerable self... no armour, no masks, no barriers.... We have so many layers that we put on/use to safeguard ourselves... only a true connection can see through all that. Hope it's a nice day in Spain :)

How much more true and honest can we be but when we are naked? There has to be a great amount of trust to do that. Such a beautiful honest poem Ms. Lisa. Temp

A good, honest write, Lisa. Totally without posturing or pretence. Beautiful, and quite touching! It has an inherent sadness, as we are left with the feeling that this love drifted away somehow. It is a true blessing when we find someone we feel we can truly trust, and be totally honest with. You say so much in just a few words here! Excellent poem!

As I read this, I take my last sip of coffee, the first cup in the last 2 months. After my dad passed there didn't seem to be a need for caffeine. silly but here we are with this poem: when we are disrobed of false dreams and white lies, bare as only we can be, in their presence we are truly free. This is a wonderful place and moment. If moments can be extended to days and years, such open vulnerability is a blissful existence we (most of us) can only aspire to. I have come close on many occasions, they are gems that my wife and I share and work on to cultivate and keep. Thanks for sharing, LIsa.

I clicked on this poem because of the title "G". It was interesting because what could G possibly have meant? This poem, so short yet so powerful. Its not everyday we meet someone who we can trust so much to be our true selves, unclothed of the fake personas and lies we make for ourselves. This poem speaks of trust, and love... G means: Gem, Great, glorious — all of which this piece is :) enjoyed this alot!
