Naked Love

Poem Commentary

The curiously simple gesture towards healing between lovers and the vulnerability of this exchange is the most enticing experience for me. I attempted to capture that essence with "Naked Love".

Naked Love


 Lying naked
 In the dark
 Exposed 
 I saw your un-dressed heart
 Knowing my power 
 Feeling no shame
 Devout 
 Reaching out to heal your pain
 Smoothing scars 
 Removing hidden jars 
 Embraced 
 Hearts on wings flutter afar 
 Simple advance 
 Symbolic chance 
 Romance 
 Tender love dance 
 Brings complete expanse 
 -M. Jacobs

WOW! The rhyming is the main naked theme here. And the beebop kind of rhythm. Cool! ginga

Your work here makes my heart just thump alittle faster. You not only make a strong statement of passion, but also, of healing and love. This short little treasure, truely captures the essence of making love.-Maddi

Thanks Maddi, I was afraid that because it loaded incorrectly on the site, that might hurt the chance of other poets reading it. Thanks for checking it out, looking past the form and commenting on it.

Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
