Stories may have been told
Promises may have been made
Meetings may have been delayed
Feelings may have been swayed

Time never blessed the encounter
Chances never crossed the paths
Planets that never aligned
Hesitation that never left our side

Till one afternoon, clarity was my guest
and my mind put you at rest
while my intuition wanted the best
when your heart was my quest

Curiosity consumed the better part of our emotions
conversations baring our intentions
difficult questions we asked without hesitation
cups of espresso's highs became my sensation
when your eyes asked me when?

I simply basked in the warmth of your presence
and later on that night, the answer came to me
under a full moon, I responded:

When you’re ready...

A smile that sprinkled the air with its lightheartedness
A Feeling that floated the oceans of your heart in the midst of your wilderness
Thrills for the taking, memories for the savoring and the love I wish to be making
My heart is a flower that basks in your warmth and blossoms with your presence
If we are the masters of our destinies, then our hands are tied in eternities
For in your eyes, a lifetime exists of endless possibilities
My friend fate, drizzles me with your laughter whenever I am alone
Is it you that I am supposed to thank, or for my mentor the wonderful Mrs. Patience?
Every day spent waiting is rewarded by your yearning for penance
My life is defined by the ecstasy of your name as long as I am still sane
For when my mind goes, there might not be any regrets left to transpose
I am the farmer sowing the seeds, and your are the rain blessing my deeds
