Love Poem: Start

Start

My origin was unknown to me, 
No mainspring in my mind; 
Mesmerised by mundanity 
I blanked the grave maturity 
Of growth, and stumbled blind. 

I met the light and it met me, 
Erupted in my eyes; 
A rage of sensitivity, 
Bonfire with proclivity 
To force my life arise. 

Her warmth and beauty rescued me, 
Cleaved the bleak aside; 
And I, a challenged prodigy 
Responded to her willingly, 
The world split open wide. 

The start of finding more of me, 
Not splinters incomplete; 
The pall dispersing energy 
Revealed a golden synergy 
And knocked me off my feet.
