Love is Like the Elements
Love is like water
Washing over humanity
Filling them to the brim
An intoxicating elixir
A wine not meant for animals
So crude and mean
That they bring about the end
Of the world they knew
Love is like water
Too good for humanity
Love is like the earth
The deep brown earth
That saves all life
Nourishes it and makes it grow
To overcome the earth
Which gave itself to life
Love lasts for untold ages
Earth's love for life allows life
Love holds the earth
Allows it to face the decisions
It has made
Will always make
Earth holds life, and love,
Too closely, too precious
Love is like the air
Love, and air, are silent
Meting out the punishments
Unknown to the emotions of
What they hurt
Unspeaking, unflinching
Not knowing how to help
Air, and love, push forward
Progress, hopes, and dreams
Keeping back nothing
Unable to withhold their transparency
Love is like fire
Short and fast
Bright for seconds
Erased forever
Issuing towards the very ends of the universe
Never to reach, never to touch
Trying to escape
Burning bright, too bright to last
Light and heat
Escaping
Never stopping
Never ceasing
Growing farther and farther
Never reaching the end
Love is like fire
Both burn too bright
And too fast in the end
