Accomplice

i’ll try to get this right
to find the words that don’t sound trite
for this ode
to a star so bright
who taught me patience
where I have failed
walked me down bumpy trails
and fixed my wheels
when they derailed.

nothing match time
and the hand of fate
that has brought you to my gate
with perseverance we will make
the tide of many doubts recede
love forever locked in these eyes
seduce me to proceed
to make up time so quickly lost
with unrelenting speed.
