I didn’t see

The approaching storm

I carried on, remaining,

In perfect form

Ignoring all that was before me

Once the sky opened

It drenched my heart so…

I was flooded with emotions

Leaving me drowning

I became somewhat numb

In the distance,

I could see the clouds clearing

But, I didn’t advance

For my heart was fearing

What I would see

To face the facts

In front of my eyes

Head on…

Should have seen what I had done

I became broken

Unable to speak

Unable to breathe or

So it seems

As everything I hoped

Sought out..

And would dream…

My reality, bursting

At it’s seams

All of my knowing

Once the truth hit me…

With no consolation 

 
I looked for relief,

Finding it only

In your eyes-

Feeling warmth from your love

Despite my disguise

Now that the flood

Has receded

This storm has passed

I know we may face many..

But, the love in our hearts

Shall always last

For we shall

See it through

As I always waited

In my garden

For my one true love

My dear,

Could this be you?
