words unspoken marinate,
potent spells of
uncertainty and possibility.
life passes by,
while those unknowing
have missed the opportunity
to hear your true thoughts.
please, expel the
words which brew
in the confines of
your heart.
tell someone you love them.
"say what's on your mind, right now."
d.b.a

Trees die differently than people. Trees look as if they enjoyed their dying. It's true, spring will return and again they will burst into bloom. But as you well know, one can never be sure. And how can trees know that? Surely for them every fall is the last one.

I did not make the wrong choice
When I chose to love you
It was written in the stars
It was meant to be
You and me
Like the sun and the moon
Eclipsing
But now we are kept apart by time
And missing you hurts
But it shows just how much I loved.

"Hard times are coming, when we’ll be wanting the voices of writers who can see alternatives to how we live now, can see through our fear-stricken society and its obsessive technologies to other ways of being, and even imagine real grounds for hope. We’ll need writers who can remember freedom — poets, visionaries — realists of a larger reality."
--Ursula K. Le Guin

There is a Boy
There is a boy, he is the sun.
Warm. Nurturing. Radiant. He’s hemorrhaging light from every inch of his body. Flowers bloom where he walks. He has become a necessity, bleeding warmth in your soul. He is going to ruin you for all the other boys and it’s going to kill you when he goes.
There is a boy. He is a wildfire.
Destructive. Annihilating. Obliterating. Burning down empires, leaving swaths of destruction in his wake. Dangerous. Playful. His kisses are like him merciless and purifying. Putting him out is going to leave burn marks on your heart and you’ll be left picking yourself up from the ashes.
There is a boy. He is a nebula.
He is radiation. . Cleansing. Poisonous. Pure. He is pink. And green and blue and every other color in existence. He is creation itself. An act of power. A show of unfathomable strength. Killing him would be like killing a god, leaving you bereft. Cursed to walk the earth alone forever.
There is a boy. He is a supernova
Dangerous. Beautiful. Volatile. Bright. He is a star on the verge of collapse and when he dies he’s going to take everything with him. And you’ll be standing there, at the edge of the raging inferno he is waiting to be consumed, inch by inch. He’ll drag you both into an eternal black hole of misery.
There is boy. And then there’s you.
A binary star system. Forever orbiting each other. A snake eating it’s own tail. Infinite. Unchanging. A law of the universe. And you won’t leave because you love him too much and separating from him would be separating salt from the ocean. You entered this void together and that’s how you’ll leave.
There is a boy and you love him and that's a death sentence, you know that.
But you're not going to stop because you know, loving him will be the only thing you ever want to do.
