Unguarded

I drowned in That unguarded look The one that showed That your eyes adored What you saw in me I revived in That unguarded word The one that showed Your heart could voice In softer tones What my soul longed to hear I melted in That unguarded touch The one that burned And seared my flesh With the passion That had escaped from the prison Where you kept it locked under bolt and key. I loved in That unguarded moment The moment when You made time stand still For I’d gained entry Into your soul And I saw treasures Hidden there That you jealously guarded Afraid that I might steal And leave you empty! My love, let your guard down I come in peace I come to caress I come to heal I come to love I come to celebrate I come to conquer And to break your prison So that you Will always be Unguarded!

Oooh, I love this one, Eileen! You have such a loving reassurance in that last stanza,,it's breathtaking.. the structure of this piece is quite brilliant. It's hard for many to release themselves from the strongholds and insecurities we build upon ourselves, but once those walls are broken..that feeling of freedom must feel relieving. This is an increasingly intense romantic poem. you're definitely a conqueror, breaking hearts of stone, and releasing those captivated! Awesome one! Always, Laura
