    "Our Love"
    The universe went silent
    From our sudden movement
    The planet's greatest judgement
    Gave life greatest punishment
    But I will never forget
    The most magical moment
    For The first time we met
    I know that we are both meant
    We knew this is forbidden
    To people this is hidden
    Love that can't be forgotten
    From seven lights of heaven
    But the world was dumbfounded
    From what we have created
    A love that never ended
    A love they never beated
    From heaven you've descended
    From earth I have ascended
    From middle we have founded
    Our hearts being bonded
    The love that we have made
    With one another's aid
    Shall never ever fade
    For we are as strong as jade

      @@TEDEd That's a good question, and one I still struggle with. I feel like there is no significant restriction worth abiding to when it comes to what should be considered poetry; I've seen art pieces that even without being made out of words I'd still be inclined to think as poems. Musicality perhaps, a rythmic or intentionally arythmic quality that permeates the piece. Maybe in the case of this poem I could resonate with the text itself but its musicality eluded me. Or maybe I'm used to read poetic prose so a poem like this one that rides the line between the two feels to me more like one than the other.
