My wish

It's a wet wet morning,

It's a rainy Monsoon day,

It's magical, It's ethereal

All by God's way.

On this day when you are so distant

Your fragrance haunts my nose

And I wish I could glimpse into the future

And tell you right at go I chose you over those.

I don't know what the Divine plan is

But I'm sure you are destiny

And I think I'll just rest my mind today

And hold your image in my mind with ease.

You are the most special thing that to me ever happened,

And you really warm my heart

And who are you sharing your raucous laughter with, 

Where do you go these days so charming and smart?

Ten years from now I see you and me

On another rainy Monsoon day

Sharing a plateful of treats and sweet meats

And I think you and me would stay.

It's presumptuous to force my love on you,

Something so deep and so profound,

I want you to know you are a steady flame in my heart 

And I've come a full circle with you, I've come around.

Will you share this vision with me,

This dream I hold so close and dear

Of holding your hand and smelling you

Hence ten or twenty five years?

It won't be so rocky a road, it'll be good

I can promise you of that 

And I'll still love you then more devotedly,

More divinely and I hope that's God's plan.

The past of us is filled with memories sweet

And a few that pain my soul

But despite the few brickbats and hurts

My love for you is still whole.

This poem has come out so warbly,

It could have been better, more flowing into smooth

Just like our journey so far with each other

But life is like this poem, sometimes jarring, not always to sooth.

There might be times going forward

That would be a little disappointing

Because life's like that like I said

But even then I'll keep you close to me.

This should be old news to you

And I really hope it is,

If you didn't see it before accept it now

I intend to never lose you and that's just how it is.

And finally I have to say

Can we have a meaningful relationship

With no labels, just two companions

With me always in love head over heels?

I hope you liked this poetry,

It's not perfect just like you and me

But what's really perfect if you'd like

Are my intentions for you because you are so sweet.

You are my inspiration, these days I don't write

A single alphabet that doesn't have you,

You are my heart, you are my muse,

And always I would rather you choose.

We have flown long and hard together so far

Into the beautiful ocean of life 

And just like the steady ebb and flow of the tides

You are the constant for me I can't give up.

Frankly, I just might say that I don't know how you really feel,

The past is framed photographs in my mind

But in this moment,  in the present

Will you let me in because for me you are mine?

Just the thought of you is romance

And please let me in, give me a chance

And I promise you I intend to be true to you

Through the ups and downs of life's changing dance.

Sorry I haven't written a poem in a while

Because of this hiatus between us,

Can I hop on into your life,

Together can we catch the bus?

Thanks for being so wonderful,

Your fragrance really haunts my soul,

And I don't think I could go on you know

Without smelling you, without seeing your eyes light up full.

Thanks for reading my poem today,

I know you did and it means a lot to me, 

You are my meaning and when I met you

I stopped searching without conspiracy.

The other men don't interest me,

That's the truth and that's how it always is

And always will be my shona,

My Sweetest Heart, my longing and my wish.
