Surrendered

You wrap yourself around the woman

and you draw out the little child;

You kiss away the tears I've held

and I feel reckless and wild.

Sweet inhibition

surrendered at last;

The time has come,

the sweetness is past.

Oh, how I need you!

Your strength draws me near;

This womanchild is now your own;

With you I have no fear.

A beautiful poem Cheryl. It is wonderful how a loved one can make another feel so secure and alive. Great Job!

That's a really pretty poem Cheryl. I like poems like that . They are simple but right to the point to understand.

I think that's why I like hugging and cuddling so much because you have that "safe" feeling. Great poem, Cheryl.

The gift of touch is magical; like releasing tatic stored up in the muscles, it dissarms.

Thank you for such vulnerability and the gift you have to show us our innermost delights. To live without such momenst is less than living.
