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 ******* sigh. I fell in love with you.
