A.P. Bastian6 Comments on let’s get reckless

let’s get reckless

love me with wild abandon and reckless passion

turn the spark between two strangers

into a ferocious fire with

no promise of salvation,

love me with radical honesty

and without a safety net

because love, my darling,

is dangerous

so love me like an untamed animal,

undomesticated and unafraid

as if the heartbreaks of the past

never shattered your hopes of forever,

never made you promise

never again will I give in.

A.P. Bastian is a survivor of loss and a befriender of grief. A native Brazilian, she moved to the United States in 1998 completely unfamiliar with the English language. She has since received a bachelor’s degree and a juris doctorate. As a writer, A.P. intimately strings letters together on a variety of topics such as love, loss, and self-empowerment. Through her work she brings to life poetry and prose that reaches hearts and settles in bones with the intent to cultivate connection and infuse poetry into the mundane. She is the author of “A Dirty Word Called Grief,” a book she self-published and in which she openly shares her experiences on life after death. When she is not writing, A.P. is following her passions, some of which include dancing, practicing yoga, chasing sunrises, and making homemade kombucha like the Boulder hippie she has become.

    A wonderful poem shared. Sometime two storms can know quiet. Become one for a moment. Maybe needed?

      I love the idea of two storms knowing quiet- so beautifully said! And I would say it is necessary– sometimes it takes two storms crashing into one another to know peace.

        I agree A.P. Sometime we need to feel safe and sound. If even for a short time. Happy New Year.
