Before I met you, life seemed to stand still <br />Moving one step forward and two steps back <br />My temper outrageous, my mind was ill <br />All forms of happines I seemed to lack. <br /> <br />My heart was so cold, it was covered in snow <br />Pumping rivers of bloodied ice. <br />The darkness inside me seemed only to grow <br />A picture that wasn't so nice. <br /> <br />But then on a day, late in the year <br />I met the most beautiful girl <br />One that made everything so crystal clear <br />One that gave my stomach a whirl. <br /> <br />This girl brought beauty and grace in my life <br />And joy that could run for a while. <br />With wit that was sharper than any chef's knife <br />And brought back my uncommon smile. <br /> <br />Before I knew it, I fell in love <br />With this girl of beauty and grace <br />I'd been shot with an arrow from Cupid above <br />My heart had left its dwelling-place. <br /> <br />Her endless sea of chocolate hair <br />Had me entirely lost. <br />Her eyes lit my way when no light was there, <br />The sadness away had been tossed. <br /> <br />Her smile shined brighter and brighter <br />Glowing more than the crescent moon <br />Her hugs were hotter than a flame from a lighter <br />Her voice carried a perfect tune. <br /> <br />I knew it, quite certain, I'd fallen real hard <br />My disturbances had all been lifted <br />My heart was now free from being barred <br />And the bounds were now ashes that sifted. <br /> <br />I've found her, I've found her, the love of my life <br />She's brightened my every day <br />She removed all the contention, all of the strife <br />My beloved Veronica Bray.<br /><br />Zac Plague<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/omnia-vincit-amor-2/
