Swiftly
like a thief in a crowded street
you stole my heart
Gently
like the soft cords of a violin
you tuned my life
shaped it like fine clay
and molded it to fit yours
then sat back
watched
and was satisfied.
Hesitantly
like a deer in the wilderness
I reached out to you
Uncertainly
like a duck among swans
I claimed your love
and held the prize to my heart
and never letting go
nurtured it
revered it
and was rewarded.
In so short a time
we found love
In so short a time
we conquered all
and were blessed.
