Burning Within My Soul

Fire is the burning within my soul Half alive am no longer whole Heat is placed there by providence But I am living without self confidence But the fire is lit for all to see Look at my face to see the real me When I bare my soul to all The furnish shudders with the call Look deeply into my eyes But beware do not surmise That all is fine within this place Cos’ the ice maiden has shown her face So fire and ice do not mix One begats the other, know their tricks But kept apart they live in harmony Until another lost love kindles the agony Contest : Fire and Ice Penned by Seren Roberts

This form I am definitley a little more familiar with. I love the imagery the introspection, the contradiction or I guess I would say coincidence of the fire and the ice. I guess I should say a belated congratulations as well. This poem was actually written before I joined this site, I think lol. Another wonderful poem. Most of my comments are psychology mixed with philosophy, sorry about that lol.

A very intriguing write, Seren-- I like how you touched on fire and ice here-- I wonder sometimes if there is one way to fuse the two together? I especially liked the last couplet....

Me wonders if intriguing is another way of saying , its crap. Haha. Glad u you liked the last couplet. How could we fuse the 2, hmm 1 would have to be contained, so i doubt if its possible, but someone out there will have an answer......Seren
