Naked I Stand Before You

Naked I stand before you,
Scared and excited,
Affixed by your presence,
I can not run,

My heart beats faster,
My hands tremble,
I am an open book,
With no protection,

Truth has spoken,
My heart is willing,
My soul endures,
I am exposed, 
Naked I stand before you.

Deep imagery Jules - full of longing and desire but leaving yourself totally exposed and vulnerable too, I love the impact of the repeated line - great write:-) Hugs Jan xx
