Why..

Why...
Can't a woman....just simply tell a man
That she feels vulnerable...and is weak
sometimes...weak for his hands...to touch
her tender skin
Why...cant she just tell him that her body
aches to be kissed...all over from the inside out
As she melts from his tongue...
grazing her sacred places

Why...
Can't a man simply tell a woman that he
Needs...to be needed by her
that he needs to be able to sink deep into her flesh
to find solace there between the folds of her skin
Why can't a man tell a woman ....
That through her his sins are absolved
and he is complete and whole when he looks into
her eyes as he drinks in each moan and passionate cry.

Why...
Can't two people own there feelings
then give them to each other...
to be discovered as precious and sublime
Why do we allow our bodies to say the truth
but let our lips...speak lies
Then wonder how the relationship got lost
in translation...
Why...
Can't we bare our souls...scars and all
then take the time...
to heal each other.
One friend...to another
One gentle kiss at a time
to a lover....
Why...
The complications
the games and such...
Why cant we each be real...
Maybe...its because we dont love
Ourselves... enough
I dont really know the answer...
but I would like to know
Why?
