Etude {w~HowlingWhelms}

Oh how thou pierce me greatly            
underneath, as if I am in            
nothing but my skin's            
attire.. bare, nude & posed            
just awaiting for it            
every time .. to feel your            
soft punctures wounding me             
               
no embellishment must obstruct your aura             
no garment of silk or sackcloth             
no jeweled necklace, pearls, nor golden rings             
you are wild flower & raw sugar             
blind are the poets who labor to portrait you             
they, who have never seen beauty             
I will lick the blood from your wounds             
I will drink from your well of sorrow
