my love for you is boundless,
the universe, with its ever continuous unfolding cannot contain
this swelling around my chest

my love for you is rebellious,
defying every law, breaking every rule

my love for you makes physics hang its head in shame;
the gravitational pull from my heart to yours
goes far beyond possibility

my love for you is disaster
(overwhelming, catastrophic)
demolishing everything standing in our way

my love;
(impulsive, unapologetic)
the convulsions of the earth,
strong enough to tear down buildings, bridges roads
sometimes, enough to divide cities into two
and destroy the walls between us
separating me from you

my love;
(an overflowing calamity)
the lingering seismic waves,
spilling out the ocean onto land for a brief moment,
before nature pulls it back where it belongs again,
washing away all the debris on roads
that I walk on to reach you

my love;
(burning intensity)
the pressure against the earth's crust,
the magma morphing into lava in bursts,
the heat that melts anything it touches,
including the cage around my heart when I first met you
and was too afraid to feel

my love
(a whirlpool of emotions)
storms and rain,
thunder and hurricane,
and you in the eye of it
because in your arms is the only place where my love feels safe

my love for you, is all these things, and more
my love for you, attached completely, never letting go
my love for you, stronger than anyone could know
too complex to be measured or understood
and too desperate and destructive to fathom

so much so that
I feel sorry for anything
that dare stand between us;
no, my love will not allow its existence,
because my love for you will never be lessened by something so insignificant
when all these things I feel, is so much more;

infinite, endless, and unimaginable
