She



What fire and ice
do so entice
that melt the flames
and block the ice!

  1. I'm still trying to figure that out.

    The poem just popped into my head, like so many lyrics do, finding their way into forms and sentences. It didn't make any sense to me at first, but I liked the sound of it so I wrote it down. I actually posted it untitled, but then thought of a title about an hour later. I keep thinking about it, trying to figure out what it means, which seems really weird to me, since I wrote it. Have you ever had an idea that you suspected meant more than you thought it did at the time you had it?

    I almost named it beauty. But, it's specifically more general than just Beauty. While also being more general than a specific person. Although, that would be nice. Thanks for asking.


    Was that elusive enough?
    [Today I learned that illusive is not the same as elusive, nor does it mean illustrative. Illustrative is a more accurate description of what I was trying to be.]

    (I wear my heart on my sleeve, but still feel defensive when you point out that I am, in fact, wearing sleeves in the first place.)
