SURRENDER


Sweetest surrender
You stepped out of my dreams

It’s your winter
Against my spring.

And the old idea
One has
What one deserves
I guess

Guessing here I am
Why. It’s the way
It has to be
No aim, no fight
Against how far
How deep
Melted suffering
Born ever since I was born
Will never leave this soul
This heart
Only for short whiles
When you come into scene
Only because of you
Something very hard to find
This kind of unconditional love exists
In my body, my soul, my heart
Is this our love pure?
I guess so

Again I guess
Only that it grows stronger everyday
Only that I’ll have to accept
You'll never be mine.
Sweetest surrender.

No matter how we care
How we dare
How we share
No matter the tears or laughter
You'll never be mine.
Bitter surrender.

beautiful! i've said those same words many times over the past couple of years - i've lived those words many times over the past couple of years - and you've said it so well!

I too, have shared those thoughts, Dulce, but with not nearly the depth or clarity of expression which is so much your gift from God

Yet the feelings are the same, as I feel from the word-thoughts which tear themselves from your post onto my monitor--In just minutes, I believe they have become etched there...guess I'll need a new monitor!

Love ya, Sweeter Dulce!

:) Surrender.. a word that doesn't necessarily have to mean defeat. Lovely post.

lovely and tender poem.
without owning, without being mine
the love has grown and feels to be huge.

Maybe it is Steve's presence, but this poem seems sadly musical to me. Sort of Moonlight Sonata-ish.

"Melted suffering"...love that.

A doifficult to subject to do justice to, but you've done it beautifully, Dulce.

Such feelings I have partaken in... sad acceptance. Beautifully spoken, sweet Dulce!

You know how to interpret the feelings of the heart so well, my friend. This poem is both painful and beautiful...and one I can relate to.

Calli said...

You twin have described what was my life and my love...bittersweet, when all we want is the sweet, the sweetness of that love that the Gods deem not be fully ours but somehow they've led us to that love.

What gives?!!!

I'm being facetious but it helps sometimes to release the pain...hugs, love~ xx

It’s your winter
Against my spring.

Some loves do not find time to survive.

It's a sad reality when we know we must cease to pursue our loved ones. You said here here so sadly.

Maybe this person will always have a little place in your heart but they aren't the whole to hold the key ? Another beautifully expressed poem.

Liam said...

I must be missing something. I get a feeling of hopelessness. I hate surrender.

Dr.John said...

I get lost in the feeling played against the words.

JStar said...

Your words are melting my heart :)

Hope your weekend was good. I ma trying to play catch up

I love how you used the comparisons the old with the new,winter and spring,

All I will say is with this kind of love, bitter sweet as it may be, only to have once in awhile,to share once in awhile
I would surrender my love to him, this is true love, one I would keep
tucked away and take it out, on those short whiles, because sweetest Dulce, this kind of love is pure and strengthens.

Exactly what I have been living and trying to do for the past year. A bittersweet ending and all that's left is bitterness. Surrender is the answer. It was not meant to be and once we do surrender to that, accept it maybe will will make some space for something better and more affirming to come into our lives.

Beautiful poem.

So beautiful, even if bittersweet; it brings back memories of a very special love.
