DENIAL

What happens when it’s all said and done?

What next when there’s nowhere to run?

Will we hide under the guise of our amity?

Pure, platonic and without the unnecessary baggage that comes with ownership,

Will our hearts consent to the refusal of our minds to connect?

Will my eyes disguise the intensity that oozes from within?

It makes no sense that we ignore this raging inferno,

Before our eyes it burns with such power,

The flames kiss our hearts,

…just but a taste of the enormous promise it elicits,

And yet we defend our condition,

In our minds it feels right yet in our hearts, perplexity

That we so often disregard,

So what now?

Do we let the fire keep burning, fuelling its embers with our inevitable desires,

Controlling it and careful that we don’t get burnt,

Do we let it burn wild and free enjoying its passionate heat,

The end uncertain…

Or we could stay in our comfort zone,

Pretend the fire doesn’t exist…

Wary of its end but still hopeful that for as long as it burns…

We’ll be ok.

What happens when it’s gone…?

Will we regret our minds decision; yearn for our hearts connection,

Envision what could have been…

And await this possibility?

…perhaps in another lifetime…
