STRIPPED OF THE LAYERS

When we are stripped of the day time layers,
We get fulfilling our yearnings’ prayers.
Yes, when clothes are off and the heat is on,
I willingly give myself to my One.
We go in the direction he takes me,
And come at our point of grand ecstasy.
In our union, we renew a strength
That empowers us through the next day’s length.
When the wheel has turned full circle again,
I am in the arms of my Prince of Men,
Who has chosen me from among the fair,
And has alone known me at my most bare.
