“XXVII"

Naked, you are simple as a hand,
smooth, earthy, small...transparent, round.
You have moon lines and apple paths;
Naked, you are slender as the wheat.

Naked, Cuban blue midnight is your color,
Naked, I trace the stars and vines in your hair;
Naked, you are spacious and yellow
As a summer's wholeness in a golden church.

Naked, you are tiny as your fingernail;
Subtle and curved in the rose-colored dawn
And you withdraw to the underground world

As if down a long tunnel of clothing and of chores:
your clear light dims, gets dressed, drops its leaves,
And becomes a naked hand again.”
― Pablo Neruda, The Essential Neruda: Selected Poems

“a journal of scenes

now the word is naked
perched on stone naked
the door is naked
the oncoming figure naked
stored in space naked
meant to
contain the naked
i try to pry open your silence naked and
caught within the last magnitude of a noise so naked
conceived an outlier naked
with an exact measurement
that is distant from a scene so fair and naked
once again uttered when ripe a meaning naked
with the body of an hourglass naked
whose residence is naked and an impedance of a futurity made naked
by a lit indigo sky naked there are no skies naked
only clothed by a closed sheen when provoked turns naked you are naked
in this performance from beginning, midway, and then finality naked
in a cavity meant for one as a womb you once were in naked
in your fetal, your styled font obscured how the body contorts naked”
― Windsor I Guadalupe Jr

and I want to see you naked.”

Dip, and trace my nakedness;

“You can’t be seriously religious
If you’re not stripped naked

Like the goat or the insect
Like the tree and the snake

Like an erupting volcano
Give birth to a mountain

Justice flows down the wall
You slip and fall on the law

Naked wars and naked mutilations
Naked muslims naked christians

Naked laughs and naked cries
Bare naked to the day you die.”
― Valo Salo

“You come to the world in a cloud of passion,
Naked with clothes and care.
You are naked somewhere,
You are naked of your generation.

We are naked of true feelings and true love,
Naked with a single glove.
The world is naked of the God,s power.
Naked having a cold shower.

We are naked of vision and respect,
Naked with clothes I can bet.
Just see the leaves on the ground,
Naked with my naked sound.”
― Victor Marques

“Find me here, said love. I will wait for you below and above. I will wait for you in the dark, in the light. I will wait for you in the day, in the night. I have waited millions of years and haven’t grown weary once. All of eternity I will wait though there's nowhere I haven't been once. I have been in hearts and groins, in the whole and the chasm. I have been in birth and death, in the fucking and the orgasm. If you close your eyes, I am there, in your nakedness, in your truth. If you ask for me, I will come in your age, in your youth. Because I love you, lover. And wish to be loved. Find me here, said love. I wish to be loved.”
― Kamand Kojouri

standing together on the high hill

the naked vision

the wild thoughts of actually
becoming human and

staying that way

the naked possibility

of naked truth as real

the utterly naked boldness

we know

for we are

lovers

naked on the high hill

naked lovers
in
naked love

openly”
