Shades Of Blue

The colors are icy.

Cold to the sight.

When I gaze into them, the fire inside me dims.

The fire will never cease to be blistering.

But I decide where the embers nest.

Giving me the home I have always longed for, I've grown comfortable.

With just enough ice, and just enough fire, the two can live in harmony.

Never losing strength, but never losing control.

You play with Ice and fire, same creats a different Blue
You are an artist, a true poet

i really like this one. it started off cold (no pun intended) but it took a direction towards self empowerment. it reminds me of the hardcore bands at local shows. we all are about keeping our fire inside, and never stopping who we are for anything. i really enjoyed it. the only recommendation i could make is to lengthen it just a bit, add some more between the 3 and 4th line to make more of a transition between the two themes? its just one of them poems where you get to the end and your like "over already?! damn it. i want more" which isnt bad, always leave the viewer wanting more, but this feel like it almost has too much want left unanswered from its short length. however like i said, love this one. if you do add on to it. send me a message and let me know!
