Premium MemberSurrendering to the Cold Embrace of Death

The 
reaper
comes to all.
No heart has he,
for he steals away
not only the old and 
infirm, but also the young,
icily gripping them in their
trepidation when he’s in their sight
though some he takes as they sleep through the night.
If he should appear when you are conscious,
you should not fight against him, for if
your time to meet him

Surrendering Song

When pain hits me at first I've always ran,
I would replace my thoughts in order to heal again,
Until I'm brave enough to face it, mourn it, and cry,
Sometimes it only comes out a little at a time,
Sometimes to my surprise later I feel nothing at all,
Because my perspective had changed and I accepted it's song,
Reasoning

The Art of Surrendering

Why did you let go of someone you love,
They ask with such concern.

"But how can I hold onto someone,
Who no longer wants to return?"

Why didn't you fight when they ghosted,
Why not go and find them too?

"But why should I try to catch someone,
Who wants to stay away from my view?"

Why didn't you cry when you

Premium MemberSummer, So Soon Surrendering

Must summer leave so soon, I bemoan.
So briefly she seemed to last this year.
Golden days gone, merely moments flown.
With no warning, Autumn nudges near.

Yes, I'll miss her bountiful blossoms
perfume pretending as balmy breeze.
Baby blue skies, sunsets' fevered flames,
gentle whispers among dappled leaves.

I know Autumn has her own blessings:
leaves of amber, gold, and ruby red.
Yet, they

Surrendering To Eternity

I have reached the peak
where life finally ends:
looking below the steep 
cliff of perennial misery;
enflamed cities, Ukrainians
escaping the rod of tyranny...
civilians picking up arms
to fend off powerful Russians!

What shocks me is 
the pursuit of fervent 
and profound faith:
believing in fighting back,
detesting the bastard
who causes wrath;
should I go unnoticed
in the realm of peacefulness...
surrendering to eternity
with a

Endlessly Surrendering

Here I sit, all alone, at night.
I've grown used to the empty feeling
your absence seldom seizes to invite.
And my mind races so rapidly,  its as if its gaining sufficient momentum to take flight.
And you don't even deny or try to explain... despite.
All the stress it causes, why do you think it always ends in

Surrendering Is To Win

The tiger ambush is to flow not of fear,
surrendering is a strategy it’s better than getting defeated and morally falling down for ever by surrendering you are making  to surprise your counterpart and consuming time to draw a plan to win him by keeping the ball in his own courts.

Surrendering To the Muse

Putting up the white flag,
laying down my gun

Turning my back on fantasy,
projects left undone

Unlike other enemies,
she’s neither front nor back

But lives where only she can go,
where color turns to black

Her voice becomes a mimic,
ventriloquist of my soul

As words come uninvited,
their letters rhyming whole

Resistance now is futile,
my nights pass sleep deprived

Mercy vacant, her voice my own
—all

Surrendering To Love

All passion enslaved to Aphrodite,
her chains beyond silver or gold

Where time will forever surrender,
 to love—never purchased or sold

Octobers Surrendering Sun

Colorful are the skies

 lost in their dyes,

Cold are the stones 

displaying their tones…

Captive their surrender 

of hearts in their tender,

Aromas in distribution 

solitudes of seclusion…

Nights in their mourning

 frosts are aborning,

Stranded in their storms

 as the weather conforms…

Autumn in its yawning,

for a new day is dawning.

Premium MemberSurrendering Triumphantly

Yielding humbly
Dear God, I need Your gracious moulding...
Acknowledging my sins with repentance
My soul seeks for Your forgiveness.

Lord, with Your grace at work
Tremendously triumphant
I surrender to Your control
Please get hold of my stubborn will
As You direct my steps by Your light.

With Your peace toward service-trek
My spirit You enrich with wisdom’s endowment
For me to choose Your path

Premium MemberStruggling, Never Surrendering

Oh, shattered and broken
after my husband's accidental death!
My life was darkness and tears,
I was in a pit of pain with high walls,
and no hope-
I lost my job and was collecting- welfare
humiliated- I moved back home.
He died way too soon
after the babies death!

I wanted to be strong.  I
looked deep into my soul, and found nothing-

Surrendering To Her Fervid Wish

These incredible moments spent
with sensual Laura go very slow,
they are generously god-sent;
she has such a passionate glow!
O remote moon with a timid shine,
adorn our night with more brilliance;
let your light be wide and sublime,
let her skin sparkle with radiance!
Shouldn't I surrender to her fervid wish,
inflame her with my touch of artful lover
and let her taste
