fire flames with all its brilliance and dazzle
and tries to reach out to the depths of the ocean
but extreme elements cannot co-exist
nor will they ever come to understand the state of being of the other
being so vastly different
in everything save their intensity
there is too much water, too much water in her to be encompassed
it is something he will drown in, those ocean eyes
and the flames will dampen, sizzle, die upon contact
for they are truly infinite,
and left with something not quite satisfying on both sides.

what a funny question to ponder on
but that i did:
what does it take for you to kill someone?
i remember, fondly, choo's poem for us
5 ways to kill a man.
and well, i think the deadliest way to kill someone
is with words for daggers
into their souls of listening vulnerability.
