to destroy is to create

I want our love 

to disrupt worlds.

 I want our love to be tumultuous. 

I want people to see us and see two universes 

coming together to form something entirely new and unknown. 

I want our love to be Tchaikovski’s cannons. I want our love to be thunderstorms 

rolling in the deep. I want our love to be unequivocally and undeniably powerful. I want our love to

destroy walls 

and create art.

I want our love to be the physical embodiment of oil paintings and musical chords. I want our love

to be our galaxy’s Pillars of Creation. I want our love to be the connection

between stars that form the brightest and most mischievous constellations.

I want us to be songs and poems and books and letters, I want us 

to be dewdrops on Tiger Lilies in the morning,

I want us to be silk sheets upon a bed

and film canisters containing time.

I want us to be art.

I noticed and liked how you made the stanza look like a building sideways (it looks like the Burj Khalifa to me at least). But, if that wasn't intentional, it sure looks like it was (especially how the poem is about things like creation).
