Thunder petals
stay in your heart,
let sorrow come and play
sunshine fears regrets
in telling of what was
you dance with fate
in trust
in grace,
you open heart
to new beginnings.

Love and Rebellion: Decoding the Hidden Meanings in Shakespeare's Sonnets William Shakespeare's sonnets are considered some of the greatest love poems ever written. Filled with soaring metaphors, beautiful imagery, and timeless declarations of affection, they have captivated readers for centuries. But beneath the surface of these romantic verses, many scholars believe there lies a deeper current: a current of rebellion against societal norms and unspoken desires.

First Starlight of Summer
Your whole being is constituted by yearning. You miss the stars but have never seen a fully-realized night sky sparkle to life before your eyes. You write things, funny but short but profound, emulating the archaic cosmos that turns by its own unknowable calculus emulating love in all its celestial glory turning in that same cryptic way, but fully know neither and hardly know both, and it feels disingenuous, so you write about writers. It feels vaguely masturbatory, but it’s funny but short but profound and it impresses the people around you enough, so you run with it forever until you can’t anymore.
