Late Evening Sunshine
Your gentle gestures ...
soft velvet words
made me open my hard shell
You said you weren’t looking for love,
but you stumbled upon it anyway
and fell
For so very long,
I hid within my thoughts
Too afraid to venture out and find
someone who had a kindred spirit
like mine
Instead, I shut the door to my heart,
closed the curtains
and lowered the blind
It was starting to get late,
the light of hope was beginning to fade
And in the late evening,
at the falling of the last rays
You passed by like a butterfly,
and floated a hello my way
Got swept away on a breeze of love,
basking in your late evening sunshine
You made me open the door to my heart,
open the curtains
and raise the blind
I felt the warmth on my skin
of a late evening brilliant lumenescence
I felt it deep within,
the heat of your late evening sunshine
You said you weren’t looking for love,
but in the fading light
that’s what you did find
