All the sweet smelling letters

I wished I had sent

Thought about but never completed

Too many words wanted to be there

Overwhelming the control, I had

Instead, the deliberate thoughts turned into actions

Methodical, but that has no place where love is concerned

Tasting the poison of uncertainty is worrying

Before, everything was so clear

Cut and dried 

Sterile like flower heads hanging

A garland of surety to wear confidently

No fears or doubts ever put a foot inside

Now it just walked in uncontrolled

Taken over the process of secure thoughts

Twisting the gears

Now they no longer meshed

Love had taken over completely

Silent and surreptitiously

Eventually they would know

Every tender touch will tell them

Flings do not last as long

One day her father will ask

That will lead to the floodgates being opened

A daily family grilling will commence

Not that it matters about approval

It is something they have no control over

Do any of us have control?

Complete control over our emotions

When a simple smile

One fleeting kiss

A passionate embrace

Each one lets loose emotions river

Engulfing sensibility 

The only conclusion I can come to was a stranger

To allow loud thoughts to be quietened

Swimming with the current no matter where it goes

Taking the grilling

Knowing true love is truthful

This is the only shield that I need

To keep my lovers heart
