Love Poem: Naked
Tony Bush Avatar
Written by: Tony Bush

Naked

Naked is love
in unpretentious guise,
with flesh likewise complex,
bare of contrivance.
In repose, in retreat,
in full glory it lies,
stripped to the atom
and cut like a jewel.

Each radiant facet
buffed pristine pink,
with genitals fresh
as the sort morning dew.
In connection, reflection,
the dazzling link
bathed in sensation
and spun like a dervish.

Naked is love,
of fragile construct,
with scanty delineate,
scarcest defence.
Inflamed, unashamed,
and so easily screwed
up beyond all belief
in the eyes of naked lovers.
