Eve Roper Poet Free verse

Surrendered Love Love Me Like You Mean It

Fragrant magick candlelight flickers hot, 

blue, red flame stimulating sparks bind hands. 

Tame harmony remains. "Love." While love awakes

a wanderer of my emboldened heart;

gentle wind meander blows, and gusts oppose. 

I discern your quintessence in the breeze

emerging out of dust of dry humble ground 

from I was formed ... a fleeting glance into 

colorfulness night; for our love rhymes 

of aged mirth; our unconditional surrendered 

love eclipse with flickering light while honey 

sips our lips. Bound by love and devotion

my soul embraces you …you cradle me close

a thirst to be near for all eternity.

A dwelling among this vessel knowing

that you are in me and I in you 

bathing in the afterglow of sunset 

under heavens studded with bright stars.
