Earth and fire,
Embracing and consuming.
They caress each other
At times hurtful in their pleasure,
But a complete mixture they never be.
Two of earth and fire,
Some say twins they be.
Delight expounds within and around,
Their totality of joys inevitable.
The earthen princess linked to the mother,
Harnessed to a core, marriage of soils.
The delightful, sinful fire cannot bear her
Away and into its mischievousness passions.
Liquid happiness streams down faces,
Seeping in to nourish her.
While the steam pours from his
Dark heated eyes, passion spent.
Expressions with a clarity of fine crystal.
Opposite mixtures for ever,
Friends only forced, we be,
In eternity near at heart.
((Based on a from a shorter poem by Alicia Beattie))
