Surrender



in my dream    he waits-
      I feel his yearning      his hunger and
I dread it      yet it enthralls me
to surrender-

sensing him  (in my darkened room)

confusion     fear     overwhelms 
he is breathing
      close
           so near

who is there       a shadow moves     

whispering my name     my name whispering
     terrifying     a voice   deep baritone     demanding
and cruel                  (and then)
I see him      his fathomless dark eyes
staring down at me
    I am lost     yet I pull him close

he strokes my flowing hair      but his eyes are cold as ice
     daggers to my soul

there is love     (hate)      lust           passion
    he wants to control me
          violently     crushing my (ruby red) lips
obsession                      his lips release their tension
       then his kisses are like flowers of love

(he is evil)     he is love      he is lust
   he is cruel          I murmur words of passion

oh those dark fathomless eyes

     go away    come back     I love you
hate you    

                    he wraps his arms around me
(gentle)    and I am lost      twirling and swirling

oh why does he haunt me     
 my dream 
      is fading    
            fading in the mist

and I am screaming for him
                       (don't leave me)
oh           moon your light is failing
    you are nothing         now

and dawn breaks   like a wound that bleeds

      gone     and I am left weeping
weeping          and this dreams of a ghost
 must hide away               be locked away

  and the wind is whistling    in the weeping willows
 birds are chirping         and the sun is creeping

Constance, I love the word surrender as this for me doesn't mean weakness or failure but it also somehow means trust... You bring all my senses in double work to the imagery, feelings and sounds you all featured here! Love the arrangement and the way you powerfully cut those phrases, intensifying your poem!~Olive Eloisa =')
