Subtle Succumbing

i do not ask  
for your surrender.     
who would say yes      
...or no?        
       
instead, i will allow seduction        
its slow, languorous play        
each advance sliding deeper        
until i am so far in      
we recognize no other    
       
and when your white flag raises      
i will sit back gently upon it      
and eternal ecstasy      
will rise in its stead      
       
and we will laugh that        
once upon a time        
we thought possible anything      
but this ultimate succumbing.
