The Wilds

The universe expands
and wraps into itself.
From this self-love,
new worlds emerge:
some barren,
some virginal,
some indulgent,
some magical, vibrant, and possessed
like Tolkein's forbidden forests,
fiery rains
and purplish-orange skies.
 
The sheen of the blades,
the green of the blades,
the warmth
of some crepuscular caresses,
the cold and the silence
between the four walls,
the stark memories
of a beloved
during the final, fading heartbeats,
the beauty and the chaos
within us-
forged in the furnaces
of distant stars.
