Beautiful Destruction

Look at the beauty of it's dance;
It's vibrant color flickers with passion
as it consumes everything it touches.
It dances blissfully across the floor,
and up the wall,
and onto the ceiling
until there is nothing left for it.
It produces the hottest of heats,
melting and scorching everything in reach.
It burns and it burns until everything is gone.
Everything is gone.
It's beautiful destruction.

  1. Why does water never burn
    Though made from quite explosive gasses?
    A lesson that I quickly learned
    Through heat and appropriate masses.
    It is the most destructive force
    That God in nature causes to rumble
    When frozen water expands to ice
    Pebbles shake and boulders crumble.
    The fire, as you so aptly put
    really can't at all compare
    Fire's extinguished with but a spray
    For fire to burn it does need air.

  2. what you say is very true
    they are impressive
    but water and ice
    of which you speak
    are not as beautiful
    as the fire in thine eyes

  3. Ah, me thinks the fault is mine
    As I misread your written song
    Science cripples many men
    To miss a metaphor is wrong.

    As for my eyes, they are blue
    Which seem to say the likes of water
    But flame of passion lies there as well
    From hateful ire to fits of laughter.

    Remember, do, this valuable lesson
    And sing with songs accompanied by lyre
    That water, blue in truth is made
    Of elements that do make fire.

  5. Dearest Hannen and Clayton,

    I despise you for your talent! I wish I could sound cool! :-(

    By just one blow

  6. It was absolutely wonderful Amber! At least you can rhyme, that is something I cannot. All my poetry is what I guess you'd call free verse, no rhyme, no real meter, it's just kind of there.

  7. Hannen, I should show you how to write poems with meter and rhyme. It's pretty cool-ness.

    Oh, go over to Juliet's blog and read some of her poems. She has way cooler concepts than I do. :-D

    Amber...Don't quit your day job.
