Surrender

Such love as the blind-god knows

In your eyes you cannot hide

Never, oh, never gaze at me

To surrender to your eyes is not surrender

It is fire.

The quickening of the heart to passion is both fury and surrender, consigned to the flame, as the heart thunders within one's breast. To feel the heat and agony of true love and how it flails - an agonizing flame -across the empty in-between spaces, stoked into radiance made gentle again by the soft words of a lover. Passion embodied in but a few words, Belle. As exceptional as always.

[Belle]

This was the first confession I made... ;)

[KAin]

And you've managed to make it both gentle and passionate... Perfect words, i think...

[Belle]

You understood, thank you, endlessly...

[KAin]

... Thank you, Belle, for sharing this with us... Hope i can find the perfect words too, one day.

[Belle]

My Landred, you have found the perfect words, you have even tamed the un-tamable because of your words. Com'on you do not need me to tap you to realize that...

[KAin]

Ah... You do me too much honour. But i must keep striving for something truly worthy... Some things are worth bettering yourself for, every day, every moment.

Hi Sami! Glad to know you reading this write once again.

[Sami Khalil]

I'm glad too. Nice to see you again. I hope all is well...:)..............

[Belle]

All is well, yes. Just taking myself back to my old writes. I have been too focused on one theme for the past years and I do miss writing what comes out.

[Sami Khalil]

All good. Please send some read requests when you post new things. ..::::)))))

[Belle]

Everything I put on paper is for the book...but yes, of course, when I have new one, will sure tell.

Really glad to be reconnected, my friend!

[Sami Khalil]

Same here. Always a pleasure...:)................

This is so filled with wanting... divine longing... the warmth and fire of passion's all-consuming flow. Leaves one breathless.

[misha]

What a powerful write this is. Great job!

[Belle]

thank you,misha.

I could just feel the passion boiling in this persona, as she refuses to 'look' or to surrender - or else she might burn! I liked it.

[Belle]

" passion boiling in the persona ", I liked the intensity of these words, too.... :)

[David Scott]

To be seen is both liberating and terrifying.
The myth of a blind god is a misnomer I think.
Love is not blind, rather, it sees all the unlovely truth and loves nonetheless.
This is a safe place to surrender.
Interesting write Belle. Ancient mythology blended into the moment of now in every heart.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

this is so cool...usually we want eye to eye contact because it develops trust...but here the love would show so strong with a gaze that it would spark the fire.

love it.--we don't need to see what we already feel...

[Belle]

Thank you for that wonderful words, Jacob...Yes, we do not need to see what we already feel...

[VALORMORE DE PLUME]

Never, oh, never gaze at me
To surrender to your eyes is not surrender
It is fire.
To surrender is to lose yourself to another. Ah yes, but to look into the soul of your lover is a lifetime of burning passion.

[Belle]

Thank you for saying those. They made me smile. :)

[AYVID N]

The eyes are mirrors to the soul. Words may not be spoken from lips but the love, eyes cannot hide. This is a stunning poem Belle!

[Belle]

...and the eyes do not lie. Thank you, my friend.

[NeiL ArandA]

Only five lines but its pack and encrypted with so much hidden meanings. Another riddle like piece. Thanks for sharing and posting.

[Belle]

That is how I started and all through a year of poetic journey I always find myself comfortable with that style. Well, I think that is just all me : simple and plain yet full of complexity...and oh I realized it just now, while typing this reply to you.

[NeiL ArandA]

Very unheard of...Unorthodox. In the rule and game of chess. You're game or playing style is very hard to read and predict. You'll draw your opponent to deep waters ( complexity ) and its over. You're indeed deep like a complex game of chess .

[Belle]

Yes, "deep" and unpredictable are the other words for me, the usual comments I often receive from the people around me. Well it just prove more and more that our poetry tells what and who exactly who we are...Chess. The game of mind, I see how much you are into it.

[NeiL ArandA]

Chess was my first passion and I searched and studied it and my game and playing style continued to evolve until I reached that level where there's not really that much to prove. Demolishing and Defeating a formidable and high rank opponent wasn't that really exhilarating in the end. Not really making any impact... and then just recently I found and switch to Poetry.....totally novice and naive! Still trying to fit in, still finding my place and my style... Your passion with writing was the same passion I had with chess . But now I have a new muse ... Poetry! ... uncharted territory...for me..
