Surrender On Stormy Fronts
Love is a challenge
Love is raw in cinders
She places a barrier
As she poises for another
Anger is seething
So clearly embattled
I'm ready to call it off
Forbidding her companionship
On these gruesome terms
She says the future is uncertain
Writing me love notes from the sky
Wandering to me pitch after pitch
But still her past devotion
Blocks my entry
Caught in this triangle
Defenses are weighed
A sullen gambit turned mistake
I'm pressing to fight
Again as nature beholds
Still, her silent ecstasy unfolds
As she breaks down instinct
And resynthesizes
The portal of our love-
Once more
Im patrolling the battlefield
Announcing that we charge
or retreat
But finally, im left to silence
Her subtle pattering heart
Forges my surrender
On this stormy night
