When Love Rebels

what true romance feels like

I’ve never been a fearless person but I always yearned for wild raging love. I fell in love with movies where sparks were instant, bad decisions were entirely justified by body heat and people would burn the world down and die for each other if they had to.

Forbidden love. Rule breaking love. A mad kind of love that can’t and won’t be stopped by time or space or laws even, world be damned.

I lusted after and longed for Bonnie and Clyde. Love Me If You Dare. Natural Born Killers. True Romance. Beautiful Creatures. Heathers Rome +Juliet. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Body Heat. Love. The Dreamers. Wild At Heart. Before Sunrise. Even a little Damage.

Got hot on lovers on the run, lovers getting buried in cement together, lovers dying to just talk to each other again. Swooned when Angelina and Billy Bob fucked in the limo then wore vials of each other’s blood on the red carpet after.

I always loved a manic kind of love that bordered on singular obsession cause it was just that deep. A love that rebelled against any and every rule that stood in the way of two bodies meeting. That kind of love was fun to watch, fun to write and even more fun to imagine.

I don’t write meet cutes.

I don’t love happy endings.

For me, a love story isn’t hot without rebellion.

This poem was inspired by all that.

When Love Rebels

Let’s run away together,
blaze through the streets, set worlds on fire,
when bodies meet, let’s chase tornadoes,
let’s follow the sun, let’s break all rules together, every last one, let’s rob a bank,
lay naked covered in only money,
let’s dine on danger, make luxuries
of cheap thrills, let’s bend again
and again to each other’s will,
let’s laugh and laugh and laugh,
till our darkest parts become funny as hell.
Let’s write tall tales in tongues on skin,
let’s let each other in, let’s break everything,
let’s scream, and rage together,
bust out this cage together.
Travel to the ends of the earth, and devour
each other on grass, and sand, on
hard floors, in warm beds, lose ourselves
between sweaty sheets, in back rooms,
back alleys, undressing each other,
desperate eyes on every street,
Let’s fill every hole, we never knew we had,
ignite the parts that long felt dead.
Let’s light the spark, watch things go boom,
let’s taste each other’s pain,
bleed on each other’s pages,
wear obsession like a promise ring.
Let’s force the whole world,
to be our shared plaything,
Let’s lay side by side, hearts beating like one,
let’s race against time, and talk
and talk till we meeting rising suns.
Blur timelines with rebel heart and heat,
make galaxies collide between breath.
Let’s explode together, carry the load together,
let’s build empires, and fall deep,
let’s never work again, and only play,
let’s seek and learn and teach,
the lessons of each others lives instead.
Find caverns in words so deep,
that only old souls can reach,
find new selves in rewritten lines,
let’s break promises, just this one time.
Let’s fuck and say fuck it and burn it all down,
in a blaze of glory, cause there’s no world,
no real life, nothing else, only our story.
