Elemental chemistry

Forces of nature, that’s what we are, you and I You are the water, gentle yet tumultuous I am the fire, hot yet can lose all control Together we are unstoppable You are the breeze of reassurance whispering in my ear I am the touch of life that stirs in your soul Together we face the forces that engulf us The forces that come together and collide A collision that is felt at each encounter A force that is so soul wrenching yet much needed That it leaves us both breathless You are my shelter, I am your salvation Together we overcome all obstacles Whereas apart, we shut down, we are empty Yet when we come together, we explode with passion Desire felt to the very core of our being One would think that as forces of nature play And eventually are sated once they have fulfilled their role Yet with you and I, we crave more, want more need more Nothing is enough, everything is to much Yet halfway is not going to satisfy either once of us We want everything and more, just to satisfy your current as water And to feed my flames as fire

It´s so good to see you posting again. This reads really good, so full of imagery. Emotion shining through every line. Please check the spelling of l.11 leave/leaves & l.21 once/one. Looking forward to reading you more often (and I still have lots to catch up on, too), Ink

Thanks for the assist with the spelling errors. And thank you for the kind words, its taken a while for the writing to flow again, i am so happy i am once again able to out pen to paper and express. Much love Feebie Mistakes happen, do not dwell on them, live them, mourn them and move on to better things. (PS: if that does not work eat lots and lots of chocolate)
