Fire, Ice and everything in between

What i see, is just for me

For now, like this, will never be

They cant feel the chill of ice

They wont glimpse at paradise

I take turns to tell myself

That ice was never here to help

Ice was shiny ice was smooth

Ice promised me solitude

Fools jumped into ice for peace

In minutes they felt ill at ease

In hours their hearts slowly stopped

No pain was felt, no one sobbed

Ice stays calm and ice stays cool

Ice just mocks and ridicules

Ice was here, ice wont stay

Ice will lock herself in grey

And still when i am hurt today

Ice does take my pain away

Forever.....

Melting the skin

Running like a mad horse, a rabid Harlequin

Leaping across nails, across bone, tooth, shells

She eats

All in her path, she crackles in dismay

If any sorry soul would cling on to stay

And live

She is not here to give

She would not let you retrieve what you have lost

Whatever the cost

Fire beckons dark and lost corners of your soul

You turn to run and crawl

Out of ways to stop or stall

You see her growing aura chasing you across the wall

On the streets and in the shops

In the eyes of strangers waiting at the bus stops

Then she reaches out in red

Orange, amber, yellow, blue

And before even starting

The pain has left you

Forever.....
