A Private Thing

don’t tell me to extinguish the fire of my desire
because it’s burning your normativity; you call it unrealistic

knowing that this unrealisticness is spreading warmth to this realistic world, i felt a moment of conciliation.

You see,
my desire, is mine; it has nothing to do with you, with anyone else, with anything externally
it is purely mine
it is my most primary apparatus
it reaches out to the thinnest nerve in my brain
to the tiniest cell in my heart
to the most beautiful dream of what I can imagine

it speaks to me
it moves me
it creates me
it loves me

You see,
it is private
