Well-Kept Secrets

Shamelessly in front you strut    
in your flimsy swimming suit,
curves and cleavage exposing
aimed to rouse and scintillate. 

Stop! don't waste time on me
showing off what men had seen;
bare yourself and go naked,
you won't interest me still.

The flesh you fully reveal
is far from what I'm after;
it is the secrets you keep
that I want to uncover.

More swimming, I see! lol It is always the secrets, the within, that holds the most allure...I have always found more power in one well-shot glance, than naked flesh strutting anyday. Loved this one, and the twist, love Kristin
