Windows

I could not ignore you
saliently drifting into my life
there came a point
when I committed to acknowledgment
of the windows that you opened

It was your intoxicating intellect
that breached my guard
a mind that bloomed in multi-fragrance
regardless of society's imperatives
in spite of gender bias

How can I not love someone
who ask the questions that matter
who listens openly to all answers
someone willing to face all possibilities
who would remind me that regrets are a waste of time
