being naked -
was never as hard,
as to bare my heart
making my future
meet my past.
cobwebs -
abandoned spider homes
swept aside from the walls,
a momentary respite for me
and memories of love long lost.
Love lost -
to spiders of times gone
clinging to new hopes,
he preferred my skin to sins.

This was simply breath taking….bravo on your poem.
baring your heart…you leave it open to being crushed….def makes it hard, the risk…interesting on the use of spiders in this…you made me look at it fresh…
he preferred my skin to sins, this poem is beautifully vulnerable
Poignant. And it is not easy to bare heart.
Really beautiful
The spider metaphor works well in this. “Captivating!”
Even with my strong aversion to all things spiderish, I enjoyed this work immensely. Your closing line stuns. Well done.
Full of emotion. Excellently done.
Really beautiful. It is truly hard to bare our souls to those we think love us but to bare it to one we do not know loves us is even harder. Wonderful use of spiders, because we do weave a web in our search for love and for so many things in our lives.
Thanks for sharing this with us for this weeks Theme Thursday. Hope you are having a weekend full of many blessings.
God bless.
