She held my thoughts at a distance,
away from her throbbing heart,
for her innocuous self
seldom could resist the divine pull.

But she was naive,
for who can tame a surging ocean,
a seismic jolt,
a charismatic smile,
and fragrance in the wild

and the time was not far
when walls would dissolve
the cracks would fill
and love would get its fair chance
