Dormant Heart Poem by louis rams

her heart was a dormant volcano
quiet and still, then our eyes met
and the volcano exploded.

i could see the fire
i could feel the heat
as it cascaded down
my heart to meet.

as they joined forces the
heat started to rise
smoke so strong
that it filled the sky.

like the dark depths of the ocean
it rose to the top
for this was a love
that could not stop.

as it reached high into the sky
people from all over, came to see.
the faces of two lovers
'her and me'

she had thought that in her lifetime
she would never find
another love stronger than i.

but i touched her to the core
and taught her how to love ever more.

now that our faces are where
everyone can see
we will fullfill our destiny
to show the world that love is
strong as can be
and does not hide from you or me.

true love will rise above the ground
when it comes, you won't hear a sound.
it will come to you silently
as a lion stalking its prey
and leave you in total dismay.

no one can tell you how or when
it will come.
it may be with the setting sun.

but rest assured it will be there
and take away all the tears.
