Love Poem

Love Poem

At last 

I discovered you there

Encased for so long

A beauty 

not looking

But with so much love 

Reserved in dormancy

Time was waiting 

To break through 

The confined earth

Incarcerated in the years

Of grief and tears

We allowed the thaw to happen

To un-button the colourful 

Coat's of dormant love

It was time to push through

And break new ground

With new shoots to flourish

And melt the ice

With our hearts

The Passage of time had long enough to cure the blight from the past

That cut us down in different ways

So brutally fast

How clumsy and fortuitous was I 

To tread with heavy boots

To catch my eye

On such a fruitful bed 

And chance my heart

That you would respond

With such delight 

To my open hand

At the beginning

Of this fragile garden

I should take my time

Be patient beneath

The swooning star's

I will make sure 

to prepare the ground well

To nurture 

The brightest bloom

To burst into life

Forever lasting seasons..

Avie..
