Destiny--By Graça Costa--Portugal

Destiny

I knew we were bound

long before we met.

Deep inside I felt your love

as a feather caressing my soul

and your voice whispering

smoothly in my skin

an unwritten song

floating in time

waiting for our embrace.

Fate put you in my path

in the most unexpected way

when days were grey

and nights were stormy.

You came and I was frightened.

Still, I've let you in...

bath myself in your scent

and allow sparkles of happiness

to enlighten the room.

Love flew like tides in summer nights

and I … I surrender to your smile.
