Ready For Love.

Inviting Love In.

By Cathy (Christine Acheini) Ben-Ameh.Published 7 months ago 1 min read

Love is not a sudden blaze
But a quiet flame that stays
Growing slow with patient hands
In soil rich from chosen plans.

It is not the breathless rush
Or dizzy dance in twilight’s hush
But steady steps on paths untold
A story crafted, slow and bold.

I wait not for a fleeting spark
Nor love found quickly in the dark
But friendship first, a gentle start
Where hearts and minds align in part.

Chemistry may thrill and blind
But values hold the ties that bind
A vision shared, a common ground
Where lasting love is truly found.

I listen now with wiser ears
To songs once sung in younger years
Ready not just to fall or fly
But to nurture love that will not die.

Patience is the quiet key
Unlocking love’s eternity
No fireworks or fleeting show
Just courage in the seeds we sow.

So here I stand with open hands
Inviting love on my own plans
No haste, no rush, just room to grow
In trust, respect, and truths we know.
