Fire and Ice

Some seek sparks or fireworks

or see it only as a game

a kiss to set the world ablaze

and tongues that lick like flame

play with fire and your bound to get burned

and they have no one to blame

Some seek to have a heart of ice

because in reality they fear

Those who have been hurt before

and now will suffer no one near

how cold the life, who will cry

for one who held nothing dear

I see it as a balance

and there's nothing I'd want instead

remember all things in moderation

before your pitter-patter heart be led

embrace the warmth of smoldering flame

while thinking with a cool head

I think that this poem is very original, and I like it :)

i enjoyed these words, this is one amazing write here.
I like the words and the meaning. It's kind of sad in a way.
