Unravel

Unravel me

Untie the laces that brace the corsetted artificility

That I was taught to wear

To hold captive inside

This deep earthy person of longing and desire

Who knew the truth in silence

And felt the kiss of soft breeze upon flesh

As the sweetest gift of all

Undo the ribbons from my hair and let it fall

Cascading down my shoulders

And in your imagery of these tresses

Paint the creatures trapped inside

Who find themselves

Flying free

Down that flood waterfall

Released

Into the clear light of air

And fire

Inside my mind

Let the new dawn break

After nights of storms

Let me remember

That this body holds the keys to secrets

Trapped too long inside

And the only way to freedom now lies

In submission to

This journey of unravelling
