Water & Fire

I could see it

in your hypnotizing eyes,

a compassion & deep yearning,

swirling together,

in those bottomless pools of blue.

You had a thirst

that could not be quenched

and I had nothing to offer

except for the raging fire

of my soul.

Afraid, I pushed you away;

I felt if I dived in deep,

I’d douse my embers

from never again wanting

to come back up for air.
