Breaking Free

 

Shedding our clothes freely

                Without fear

We share the passions

                Of our flesh.

 

But our secret fears

                Hold prisoner

The fervid passions

                Of our souls.

 

Fears, like a vine

                Grown wild,

Strangle the very essence

                Of our being.

 

Struggling to shed

                The restraints of fear

We cry to share

                The ecstasy of Truth.
