DESTINY

I knew we were bound

long before we met.

Deep inside I felt your love

as a feather caressing my soul

and your voice whispering

smoothly in my skin

an unwritten song

floating in time

waiting for our embrace.

I knew we were bound

long before we met.

Fate put you in my path

in the most unexpected way

when days were grey

and nights were stormy.

You came and I was frightened.

Still, I've let you in...

bath myself me in your scent

and allow sparkles of happiness

to enlighten the room.

Love flew

like tides in summer nights

and I …

I did surrender to your smile.
