I Fell In Love With You

..it's Friday...

I Fell In Love With You

I fell in love with you

slowly,

syllable by syllable,

word by word,

poem by poem

imagining the moon’s

dancing affair with stars,

twinkle by twinkle.

And then 

all at once

like the explosion

of a super nova

affecting distant galaxies

and down to my very soul.

~~~

I fell in love with you gently,

the way a dew drop

glistens in the morning sun,

the way a flower often opens

to a moonlit song.

~~~

But like all love worth holding,

it turns to fire-

raging,

uncontrolled,

wild and consuming;

you have become the flames

dancing across my skin,

smoldering brightly

within my heart

turning me into the sweet smell of ash.

~~~

I fell in love with you 

slowly

then quickly,

the way a meteor flashes

as it skims across the night sky

or hearts melt

within an orgasmic sigh.

I fell in love with you.

Sorry.

The words in this poem and the expressions remind me of something Shakespeare, ish. I know it isn't in sonnet form but it rolls along with a descriptive narative on the theme of love so smoothly.
Love poems have to be written without holding back to give them the power they need. It seems you are a romantic.

[Michelle Gent]

What a beautiful tribute. You both are lucky to have a love like that.

thank you Michelle, glad you stopped by and left such a wonderful comment...

[Michelle Gent]

You're welcome.

Why would anyone apologize for falling in love so gloriously? The romance in ever line is simply delightful, Curt. Hearts do melt when they love like this. It is easy to fall in love with the words of another poet....to become lost in between the lines. Oh my, yes....now this is a NICE poem. Lydi**

[redzone]

thanks JesseRose, for the read and loverly comment...

[jacob erin-cilberto]

i am not sure she needs or would want an apology...those loves that start slowly, sooner or later the heat rises, gets uncontrollable...and the reckless abandon sets in.

like the momentum and analogies in this.

[redzone]

thank you Jacob... always enjoy your comments..

[katie]

Really enjoyed this piece!! Intense imagery!

"And then
All at once
Like the explosion
of a supernova
Affecting distant galaxies
And down to my very soul"

There's a ton of passion in this poem. The formatting helps the reader take in everything better as well. Really great piece!! Keep writing!!

thanks Katie, muchly for your comment

[A hare off]

From happy to sad, happy to sad, then an ending, a final word I would never have expected. "Sorry". Talk about deep and lonely, I saw your notes, is this what Fridays bring?

[redzone]

I wasn't supposed to fall in love, "just friends", well so much for that idea.. lol.
