Before We Met by Jennifer Butler Thursday, September 01, 2005 Not rated by the Author. Share Print Save Become a Fan (For Markley)
With America 'neath my left foot and Europe 'neath my right, my head and sight are the sun itself and you are none of me. Though if I turned and set some paws on South and Africa, it's face becomes the Lion's and you are none of me. And so I thought, We cannot be so greedy with it all and gave a portion back from where it came. And sending off in faith I said, "Someday, somehow, I will explain." Before we met, I had it all and you were none of me And so I gave my world to you that this our world could be.

This is so well-written- the first part of the poem with its unique images makes the end so romantic, truly beautiful- you handled it with a balance so that there's no cheesiness abou it.
