SURRENDER (An Original Poem)
It only took half
a lifetime to
learn that
I’m wise enough
to realize
I’m not nearly
wise enough
So I lay down
my defenses
for these were
proverbial fences,
and fear was the lock
on the garden’s gate
I am
present now
with nothing
left to lose,
nothing to prove,
my soul stripped bare
by humility
future flow now
and let me
ride your waves
for I’ve found
my bliss
and the garden is
like some warm
sweet kiss
that floods
my empty
places
and leaves
me longing for
you, only you
or nothing at all.

There are few things more beautiful, than bearing ones soul to their love...
this one is dope
Thanks!
You had me until the very end...and then I was like Oh! Obsessive!
Naw, just kidding! This is great work and a love like that can conquer anything. I know because I'm married to my best friend and soul mate and I don't know how we would survive without one another. :)
So true! Having a partnership like that makes all aspects of life better. I'm lucky to say I have that kind of marriage too!
Once again great Poem. I like how you sometimes slightly rhyme with your poem but it isn't necessary for each part of the poem to be written that way. I would like to create some of my poems like that too. Reading all of your poetry has been a big part of my inspiration for my first poem that I posted to steemit.
Thanks, @ballinconscious. That's a style that I've developed over the years. I like to pepper the free form poems with lines that rhyme. You honor me with your words and your poem is good! Keep it up!
Well I enjoy that style that you use for your expression. Let it stay strong and stable like a mountain yet have the fluidity and adaptability of water. Your welcome. Thank you for the words of encouragement and for reading my poem. I will continue to create and continuously be inspired by all the amazing & creative people here (like you)
Wow
Awesome content!
Thanks for sharing
You're welcome! Thanks so much for taking the time to read it!
Very touching post!
Thanks!
lovely & touchy :)
Very touching post!
Nice. Like how it flows through that format.
Thanks! It kind of fun to play around with the formatting. Sometimes where the stanzas break can be almost as important as the words used.
