Elemental

Plucked from a lake of fire
my tears like molten dew
burn salt trails down my face
A fiery heart's design
that I cannot erase
a heat that consumes me

Silent frozen tears
wrung from a cold pool
of ice, you now shed
Words like a dripping 
tap on stone, unsaid

I run outside
the tide is out
the cool damp sand
refreshes me

Take my hand
Walk with me
Melt Unwind

Kiss me
Love me

Now
