Analysis of Fire and Water
His soul sparkled and in flames his charisma was engulfed
Thousands of lights offered their colours but to each his flames repulsed
Narrated his heart as a chamber filled with ashes and dust
In reality, his heart craved for a sprinkle of water to make the flames hush
Far away, lived an aquatic soul
Soaked with purity and saddened by waiting
Admired the blazing curtains of sun, passionate to see something flaming
For the very first time, flames lighted the depths of the ocean
And sky poured rains in the light of the sun
A miracle! wondered the creatures of below and above
Heard the rumours, at last fire and water had fallen in love
