Love Poem: Before You

Before You

Before you 

Before you 
there was
nothing...
No life...
No light...

Just shadows
of an existence
vanishing
in the distance.

Then you appeared
and  I was caught up
in the eye of your
hurricane.

My dimmed starlight
was consumed 
by you and then it
exploded into 
a supernova

Then a sudden calm
set in...and
the universe 
took notice.

The eyes that
were once blurred,
are now 
clearly in focus, 
and you are
their soul
possessor. 

Peace and
harmony
now eclipse
each other 
as their orbits
unite as one.

Now...
after you

my existence 
is satisfied,
as the
atmosphere
is rarefied


because of you...
