Lips of Honesty

From you I do not hide the fragile, feral man inside, in your grace I do confide crown and pride I put aside, For in your breath love is true upon your breasts my eyes burn blue, a face pure as youth I see in you in our kiss the divine comes through, I take you with me through the day into the wild and amongst the fray, within my heart you will stay you are my strength all the way... J.A.B.

Our lips can say so much, even when we are not speaking from them... This poem is simply beautiful and has smooth rhythm and rhyme. I love seeing this more vulnerable approach to your poetry, Justin!

A man must accept how love reveals his unique fragility, not as weakeness, rather as the sensitive need of his soul, secrets to greater strength. I'm honored that you appreciate my soul song Kelly...J.A.B.

Hello Justin, you're a very Honest and Unique poet, I enjoyed reading this poem. Pure Freshness! You are absolutely brilliant to a T. I imagine poetry's not the only interesting thing about you. You carry yourself with much more maturity and pride than I or others I know. I remember THEM days when love was the only element that made my days. This poem's very sweet. Always~ Happy Valentines Day... LINDA

Honesty keeps a poet impassioned, and keeps a heart young. Love is alive like youth in you...I feel it in your living poetry Linda. Devotion is sexy when born from destiny my Sphinx...J.A.B.

A divine unity such as this one need not hide and will not hide... powerful words. May your eyes always burn blue.. are they blue as the oceans of depth and mystery or blue as the bright, spacious skies? Do they emerge in freshly made fire, or do they flow coolly upon a dreamy ravine? Great one Justin! You express things beautifully and passionately- quite admirable! Always, Laura

"I take you with me through the day into the wild and amongst the fray,"-Sounds like a breathtaking adventure.. my favorite line: "in our kiss the divine comes through.." A beautiful ode to your Love Muse. Whisper your words to her every day, as long as she lives. Your honesty she will appreciate and thrive upon. You are the king of honesty, willing to set aside your pride and power for the one you love..you two are adventurers of each other's souls, discovering more and more together.

My daily adventures are rough, and full of suspense and magic Laura...that's the truth...every single day I encounter danger and marvels...tests of leadership and wisdom...challenges to my fortitude and stamina...and beautiful opportunities for creativity and love...and she is always with me, apart of the living poetry of my life...I will continue to give her my best breaths...that line of divine kiss is what happens to us Laura...J.A.B.

How sweet to find a woman who lets you be....YOU! Fragile and Feral you are, Justin. That is true. Being able to be honest about our true nature and knowing that we will not be censured for it...is indeed wonderful. "Upon your breasts my eyes burn blue"...what a sweet and captivating line that is. I love it that this poem of yours is in rhyme. It's enthralling that you can be versatile in the way you write, my dear. Lovely in every way...Hugs
