Hide not your heart......

It is a scary thing to reveal your true feelings, and to love without holding back......

Hide not your heart from me, 

hold nothing back. 

I hunger for your love, 

as one that is famine starved. 

I thirst for your words, as a man 

that seeks the refuge of a desert oasis. 

Pour into me from the chamber of your soul, 

I have emptied myself to receive you. 

Fear not to show your beauties radiance, 

that light hidden within, 

the part of yourself 

you tremble to reveal.

Strip away the facade 

you use to protect your spirit.

Be naked with me 

in the light of truth, 

let not a shadow conceal anything. 

I want to know every part of you, 

I want you to have the freedom to love 

with the intensity you desire to show.

Hide not your heart from me 

hold nothing back.

Dave W., This is coming from deep inside you. We all want the ones we treasure most to be real with us.

But you know it's very difficult to always be real.

I told you Dessi is my confused self. That was a tough confession.

What a beautiful poem of requests.

"Pour into me from the chamber of your soul,
I have emptied myself to receive you."

Yes, Love is a scary thing.

It reads like a soul knocking gently on the door of another. Beautifully done.
