Fire
Earth
Water
Air

Will you
Burn me
Burry me
Drown me
Asphyxiate me?

Or

Will you
Warm me
Nourish me
Wash me
Let me breath?

How will our elements combine,
Complement or contradict?

Between us will we ever find
The elusive Quintessence
That immeasurable element sublime
That defies all detection?

It’s the drug we both seek
To be more complete
So we break ourselves down
And expose all our parts

Revealing our rawest of elements
To mix and commingle
To see if together a new element
Can be born.

I will read through these, and contribute, when I can wrap my head around it. I'm all blankety blank lately. Love the thread, though!

This is quiet
Not peace, just quiet
Sit near me and share

This is talk
Small at first, then more
There is meaning in words

This is love
Shared, not stolen
A precious gift

This is time
Fast with you, not with me
I need more

This is life
Quiet talk, loving times
If not for you I would sit alone

Really great thread, CP!

When I'm not brain dead, I may throw in some prose. Can't do poetry- I appreciate it, but it doesn't appreciate me.

There are always prose poems.

In a second
we met
lives intertwining
you said hello,
but I said no
and yet, you persisted anyway.
Thank you.

When we met
All fire and music
The world stopped
And spun the other way

We became the two-headed
Lead character of a sitcom
Everyone was watching
Aren't they cute and good for a laugh?

Upon making our CD collection joint
And adapting to the way
Each other drives
We postition matching rocking chairs
So they face the sun

But

The sun sets
Rocking chairs aren't rollercoasters
Someone drives like a funeral
CDs get dusty
This show's a syndicated rerun
The world's a globe on your desk
Music fades and fire burns

What then?

UGH -- I give you too much mojo, GC!! Too much mojo, I tell you!!

Alrighty! Such great work! Time for a new topic.

Hmm....how about a title:
A Very Rewarding Task

Ooh, that can mean anything!

I'll be back later, please, get started!

Hmmm -- I'm intrigued... Will have to get back to this one a little later...
