Love Poem: over time

over time

I did not come to love you over time

you were not slow to permeate my soul

grandma’s golden loaves baking in her oven 

rising sunbeams entering my room 

a dandelions reflection beneath a child’s chin

proving you like butter with warm toast 

cinnamon and sugar 

better I should let the words decide

nor hide myself within the droplets of the dew

everywhere I looked these eyes were you
