Strip me of my dignity and
Show me why you're into me
Polish my shoes
when you're
finished digging into me
Skip breakfast
snack on my flesh
Pick up
where we left off
Throw me on a boat
row me over a waterfall
Fall
deep
into my
soul
Skip the formalities
I want it all
Bring me home
Textures and textiles
Tell your friends
show me off
Touch my
-
skin
Twirl me up
in a whirlwind
I won't get dizzy - this time
Confidently
spinning webs with me
Over and under
barricades
crumbling
Nothing in-between us
but
energy
alchemy
Shifting into
one
melody
Tranquility
taking over
my
sanity
There is freedom
in knowing
YOU

π The Antithesis throughout this poem is striking. The split between what you are allowing versus the precise words you use, like "stripping of dignity," kept me deeply engaged. π I was also struck by the feisty defiance lurking in the line, "polish my shoes when you're finished digging into me." It creates a powerful tension that I felt in my own body.

The spacing and line breaks really mimic movement falling, spinning, twirling. It reads like choreography on the page.
Awww, this was so lovely and beautiful! πππππ
Oh, I love this Tanya! "I won't get dizzy-this time" that's such a beautiful line.
Nice. Vulnerability here feels powerful, not fragile.
Beautiful!
