Analysis of She
She was not the glowing cinder, remnant of a fire,
She was the tall flames, that leapt with desire.
She was not a feather, that glided gently, too light,
She preferred to swiftly cut through the clouds, like a paper kite.
She was not the tender wavelets, which caressed the sand,
She was the mighty torrent, which overwhelmed the land.
She was not the sweet breeze of a summer afternoon,
She was the storm, which pulled high tides towards the moon.
She bravely conceals healed wounds in her heart,
Hiding the scars of love is also an art.
