~ Desennium-love ~

 I lost my heart

on an island in Greece,

between rocks

- overflowing with shells and sand –

adjacent to high tide’s froth.

We were just friends,

but in your arms you showed me

the island’s treasures,

and in your eyes I read more

than I should have...

Deep within my beating heart,

I already knew the answer:

It was the beginning of a pre-determined plan;

an everlasting love

that would flame on high

after all those empty lonely years spent apart.

A decade has passed…

and there you stand again;

leaning against the doorframe in a masculine way,

whilst two lushgreen eyes

scan my every move with tenderness –

just like that first day:

And I knew it was worth the while

to wait for my Greek god’s return...
