My Flower

I don't know if it was an accident, Or if it is a destiny

I don't know if it was a dream or reality

I don't know how I found you, or is it you who found me? 

May be you walked through a flame of fire and you cut through the forest,

I might have crossed the river and flew from a different content;

Somehow and some way, 

You came in to my life one day.

You walked  in to  my heart unexpected,

It was very calm and uninterrupted;

When I looked up I saw us holding hands,

I turned around and I was under your arms.

I didn't have to ask who you are,

Or did I need to know where you were.

My soul felt at home when I looked through your eyes,

I was in peace when you whispered through my ears.

The warmth of your hands reminded me of my favorite season,

When you hugged me I felt protected beyond reason;

I longed for days I see you face to face.

When I finally saw you I wished the hours would never end,

I hope there will be many more days to come my beloved.

I want us to grow like two flowers next to each other,

Blooming each day feeding their cents to one another;

I will be your water and you will be my sun,

We will cry together when we need the rain.

I will take out any weeds that is keeping you from growing,

And I hope you return my love by taking out mine.

"Come my beloved let us go forth to the field; let us lodge in the villages. Let us get up early to the vineyards; let us see if the vine has budded, whether the grape blossoms are open, and the pomegranates are in bloom. There I will give you my love. The mandrakes give of fragrance  and at our gates are pleasant fruits, all manner, new and old which I have laid up for you, my beloved." Song of Solomon 7: 11-13
