This Elusive Thing
I find myself
at a loss for words
though I dream of words
Love found me altogether disarmed
invading my heart
my body
my soul
defenseless
I watched in awe
as your forces
outnumbering mine
stormed over
in droves
Surrender not an option
I had no time to consider
Surrender
I watched, helpless
as I stood alone
against your invasion
so used to standing alone
you washed over me
took me willing captive
I don’t want to escape
your arms are no prison
your conquered land
I surrender
