Surrender

I opened myself up to you.
I peeled away my defenses,
Glued to me so very close-
Like a second skin.
I put them away,
Sealed into a secret box
Far, far from here.
I have brought forth my darkest desires,
Spoon fed them to you
Colored crimson and tasting
Of wine and strawberries.
I have rid myself of all obstacles-
Everything that would
Keep me from your arms,
From the embrace I crave.
More than air I
Need to breathe in your scent
More than light I
Need your eyes to illuminate me
    and my childish fears.
I give myself to you.
Body,
Mind,
Soul-
I surrender
