Surrender

By: Melissa Susan Hensley

Alluring phantom in my dreams,
I pursue you till I wake,
And find you nestled in my bed.
What a silhouette you make.

Such a tempting, teasing shadow,
I feel I can't endure,
Another second of this waiting,
For a love so sweet and pure.

Another night of restless slumber,
Knowing you are there beside.
I'm so vulnerable to you,
And I ache for you inside.

I'm a captive to desire.
An inferno builds within.
Such exquisite heat arises,
From the depths beneath my skin.

I am captured in this moment,
Of bidding innocence adieu,
So, I'll awake your sleeping body,
And give my soul to you.
