THE WATER AND THE FIRE

A poem on unrequited love

THE WATER AND THE FIRE

The water loved the fire,
And the fire loved the water,
But like any other unrequited love
They can never be together.

For the water can't touch the fire,
And the fire can't touch the water,
And no matter how much they try
They'd end up hurting each other.

The fire watched the water from a far
To touch or not, his heart's ajar
The water wondered if the fire still cared,
For the fire never talked again, No, it never dared.

Memories of what, fire's touch did before
To water and to his life
He promised and swore
To never see water get hurt once again,
Caused by fire, he should never see another vapor in the air.

But the water loved the fire so much that it started to reach
The fiery flames of the fire that used to burn the witch.

Slowly, little by little, life started to teach
A life long lesson that the water should preach.

A hint of smile from fire's lips,
A drop of tear on water's cheeks.
What others know as a tragic fate.
To water and fire's heart, that love could've been great.

[Samuel Riverside]

It was good. I enjoyed it quite a bit.
Also let me say I'm sorry. Most poetry of this kind comes from personal experience.
I can only imagine a love that can never be touched.

[Samuel Riverside]

One of the better perks of writing poetry. I suppose.

Tragic. Its a well written and beautiful poem. It reminds me of William B Yeats poetry. Somehow, reminds me of certain aspects of my life as well.
