Celebration in Surrender

I surrender,
I surrender
to a force
oh so tender
to you
I give all
spellbound
in your call
the candle awaits
with fire
waxen melt
in desire
yearning
for your request
totally yours
no protest
a celebration
to evoke
awakened
with every stroke
every trace
of your sensation
is the gift
of your temptation
