He was terrified of loving her,
Not her flawless smooth skin,
Or her bright crimson eyes,
The silken texture of her luscious lips,
He was afraid of the storms inside her,
The disasters which made her a breathtaking mystery,
The irresistible and impossible work of art she was,
And if he was to shed all her skin down,
So he could try to peek inside her soul,
As though to admire the perfection he would see,
The light beyond the shadows of her physical appearance,
He feared to admit to himself,
That she was beautifully damaged,
But like the rest, he was scared to unravel,
The mysteries that were woven into the basis of her existence,
He was tempted to experience love in its best form,
Nonetheless he was afraid to tame the storms roaring inside of her,
He was scared to let go of his desires and transform,
His fear into a superpower to be able to see through her,
And hopelessly fall in love with her beautifully scarred heart.

I’ve been a bit under the weather, but doing ok. Thank you! ❤
This is AWEsome! But the comment was a bit off. I would run stright into a love like that without blinking an eye! 😀
I think that should be the spirit — love is all about spontaneity; when we begin making comparisons and over-thinking, the love once felt is not the same. Love is a therapy: we could have bad experiences but at the end of the day, it can cure us so why be scared?
-Naima
beautiful thought, 😀
There are so many beautifully scarred hearts that need someone to love them as described. Wonderful write.
I agree. Love is a blessing that can see beyond scars.

I like this a lot, Naima. It is beautiful. I want to tell the guy to “man up” and try with her. Sure, a relationship like this is difficult and scary but it could end up being wonderful…you know? Cheers on this one.
Everything about falling in love and experiencing and experimenting with love can be scary but it is our choice whether to give in to our fears or not. Thank you for your wonderful comments always!
-Naima
I don’t know if I have ever experienced a “rush” before whilst reading poetry! Lovely 🙂
You are so kind with your words, Kimaya. You have a lovely name though (I am not sure if I am repeating myself but it’s so unique and beautiful).
-Naima
Thank you so much! 🙂 And I those word resonate the truth only! 😉
How beautifully written 🙂 Loved it ♥
Thank you :))
-Naima
I wish you find someone who thinks so as well. Not only says that, but really thinks so… Which is rare.
Rare can become extinct and I really hope it doesn’t. And thank you for such a warm wish :))

This is so complex and yet so simple. Such a beautiful paradox Naima. 🙂
Beautifully written words 🙂 It’s difficult to tame someone’s mental storms until that someone submits to you. But, trying to make her know that you care enough to be with her is okay I guess 🙂 Loved the poem, Naima 🙂
I have missed reading your beautiful writting, Naima. I really need to get back on WordPress like I was before.
Hugs,
Nadine
