Carving a Canyon | When Love Quietly Changes Everything

This poem forms part of my Aftermath collection, poetry written after meeting Jenn, where love, reflection, and emotional clarity began to replace chaos.
Barely a month after I met Jenn, something changed within me. She inspired me in ways I never knew possible.
She evoked so many emotions and feelings... so much love and happiness and just endless positivity. She changed my life and continues to change it. Love is just so, so powerful!
Six years ago, when I first posted this on Instagram, I was at the beginning of a path I didn’t know I needed, but one that changed everything once I stepped onto it.
Carving a Canyon was written during that moment. When love doesn’t just appear, it reshapes you.
Love is just so powerful. Let those paths be carved. You never know. They might just be the one.

Carving a Canyon
Laced with love
An insatiable appetite
Your being
Presence
Sent from above
You contort me
Encompass me
Shroud me in your light
Your colors so vivid
Vibrant and true
I give you the world
My heart unto you
Whisper sweet nothings
Shout from the rooftops
Trickle your fingers
On fields of forget-me-nots
My eyes are open
And all I see
Is you and our love
Staring right back at me
Carving a canyon
Through to my soul
Crashing the barriers
So we can grow old
Words strike me
Pierce my skin
Shower my heart
With a cheeky grin
Hold me and feel me
I will let you know
Just what I can do for you
And what I can show
Complete
Total
I'm falling for you
Effortless
Breathless
So let it be true
