Surrender Freely Given (or Taken)
Taken or given -
Surrender must be,
In order for us
To be truly free.
Allowing ourselves
To run in the wild,
Feeling pleasure untainted
On the outside of desire.
The blossom is plucked
From the thorny vines,
Full of old beliefs
Where we were once resigned.
Allowing the wellspring
Of pleasure to appear,
The water nymphs grinning
From ear to ear.
In uncharted territory,
A completely new realm.
Can you stand this much pleasure
Outside of your walls?
The price is high,
Yet totally free.
In lands previously forbidden,
Which you must now run free.
Taking in the freedom,
Breathing in the pain,
Relaxing into the ocean,
Wild and untamed.
Surrender is the cost.
Freedom the price.
Learning to live in pleasure —
Or nothing at all.
