Array ( [sid] => 870 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Open Up! [time] => 2002-07-21 09:56:59 [hometext] => This is easier said than done, not really! [bodytext] => All I see are frightened people
So scared they might expose
Their nakedness and beauty
Wrapped up tight beneath their clothes

We should set our spirits free
Open up and love this life
Stop being held by anguish
Just roll those emotional dice

A gamble it might be
But it’s one that we should take
If we’re ever to be happy
Love’s at least our greatest stake

We all have love to give
We all have love to loose
But it’s never gone forever
It’s there for sharing, if we so choose

Not just that certain someone
Not just that special heart
Give your love to everybody
In total, not in part

Real beauty’s there inside you
You don’t even have to look
To find what it is you’re searching for
You won’t read it in a book

No film or song can show you
The love which you will find
From being honest with others
Be yourself, but mostly be kind. [comments] => 6 [counter] => 236 [topic] => 30 [informant] => Unaekseveer1 [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => PoemsonBeauty )

In the wise words of Emily Dickinson "All I know of love is that love is all there is." Great write. I enjoyed reading your poem.
Take care,
Sherry

Thankyou for being so pleased with my writing

Yet another great poem, Dean. I think that the world would be a better place if everyone would just open up.

Dean, I try my best to be kind. Even though through my experences many poeple haven't been very kind, but I try not to judge but what others have done. I make educated judgements by how a particular person is.
