Hello PandorasBox
Review of "Surrender"
General Comments and Emotional Impact
I came by your poem on the New Random Review page and I'm glad I did. I love reading poems on love and romance and so you should know I love reading your as well. Love is as terrifying as it can be and yet as sweet as it can be.
In the first paragraph you say how love is a mixture of two feelings the sweetness and also the unknown fear of letting your guard down to someone. In the second paragraph you have written how though you've been alone and like it always, now there is pair of mischievous eyes are drowning you. In the third stanza, you write how that single simple makes the darkness vanish and though you're fighting to give in, the single kiss is nothing less than bliss.
In the fourth stanza you write how time means nothing when its love. In the fifth stanza,you explain how you feel so completely lost and defeated which you have never felt before. In the sixth stanza, you finally give up, surrender with no other choice after having fought rebelliously all this while. In the seventh stanza, you write about the confusion you're having whether to give up and risk the fear of hurt or to not give in but kill the feeling that you have. the last stanza, shows your final and total surrender to love and to the person you love.
The poem is so full of dense emotions, pain, anger, doubt, bliss and love. Amazing writing! Keep up the good work!

My Favourite Lines
"Do I flee from you and destroy my heart?
Risk staying and have you rip it apart?
All I know is your touch is a brand on my soul,
That against all odds love has swallowed me whole."
Love the complex emotions expressed here in the above lines, intense, deep and true emotions.
