FIRE AND WATER

Above ground, twenty thousand feet The taste of love came bittersweet When silver wings faded at night Heaven and earth fell at first sight The fiery flame was tamed for first It's like water has quenched its thirst The wounded heart with swollen scars Was roused by beam of thousand stars A beauty with a charm unmatched The iron heart came deeply touched Forbidden love at sight was born A childhood pledge was gravely torn The charming grace was also struck Blame it to the mischief of luck And like water in frost of snow The fire gave the heat to flow From meet and greet to night time love A dance under the stars above And at the light of shining morn Two loving hearts were bound and sworn But test of time was fiery fierce It was like rain of countless spears The childhood pledge just could not die From where the reins of power lie The fierce fire was forced to ride With threats of thunder by his side A childhood pledge was forced fulfilled But his heart looked on distant field There, the fruit of love was brewing And gust of true love was spewing But the threat of thunder was true His heart was caught in red and blue And so for his sweet seed to live He thought he had a life to give Just when the fruit of love was born The breath that gave its life was torn But thoughts of him lived forever In her heart, they're like together And as the hands of time went through She wore his ring of love that's true Unplaced poetry contest 5th place Sponsors by: Brian Strand
