Naked
Posted by Rob Kistner | Filed under Free Verse, Image, Poetry, art, love, photorendering, sensuality
…this is a love poem, that is also a yearning for honesty, in the face of our fundamental human tendency toward insecurity and fear…
photorendering entitled: “Liberated”

see you naked
naked — backlit by the sun
naked — in a mountain meadow
naked — running in the rain
naked — in a flower garden
naked — lying in the surf
naked — walking in a forest deep
naked — smiling on an autumn morn
naked — in a peaceful sleep
naked — in a redrock desert
naked — by a waterfall
naked — in a gentle breeze
naked — on a silvered night
silhouette ‘gainst a sterling moon
naked — folded in my arms
with your heart and soul laid bare
all your dreams and fears exposed
every pretense stripped away
…naked

Nice. A photographer’s poem?

Using the word “naked” over and over changed the meaning for me, instead of “unclothed” it became “open and honest”. Very nice, indeed…

Each repetition of “naked” changed its meaaning, indeed, changed its image - leading to the inexpressedly tender endling. Lovely.
