Surrender & Yield

Words that linger

rise inside of me

hoping to fill

a room of quiet fire

with echoes only few can hear

To drink them

from a cup of danger

letting the taste

wash over me

I surrender

Words that pull

shiver through my skin

reaching to touch

a flame that waits in shadow

with secrets only hearts can know

To taste them

from lips unafraid

letting heat coil through me

I yield
