Elemental::

I want to crawl into your flames
Residing in your eyes - the flames reflected by
The candles you always burn
Your nature is blue - Pisces liquid blue
I could swim in your green-blue expanses
Do they watch the fire wishing they could be the flame?
Or just wanting to draw near enough to feel the
Heat and not be inflamed and set afire?
The flames desire you, do they not?
Desiring to lick your eyelids and the wrinkles around them
But remember this - water always overwhelms the flames
Water may be tranquil - until it rages into floods
And hurricanes
Yet fire may defy the rain - burning miles of
Trees before its had its share
The flux of elements, always change
Fire, Earth, Water, Air
Combine to fill our days with endless mysteries
I want to unlock them all - but I can't without
The key
The key cannot exist without the lock - the lock
Without the key
Just as it is - I trust it is with you and me
