Elemental Love

This is a poem requested by my friend Aswin Kumar about a guy waiting for his ex even after a breakup forced by the girl's parents! BIG thanks to him for suggesting this topic!!!

ELEMENTAL LOVE:

When fire and ice

Had fallen in love,

The world was against it,

Like the gods above.

But fire was pure –

An eternal flame.

His love ablaze

Will never change.

And water was sweet,

A taste of joy

And everlasting hope

Throughout her life.

And love – it happened,

Ricocheted from the mountains,

The voice that was silenced

By the earth of their origins.

The universe saw

The elements weep.

Where does love go

With a future so bleak?

And water -  she fled.

She flees from fire.

Evaporates despite

Her elemental desire.

And heart chained to her,

The fire - he remembers

Every moment, every detail

Of their time together and

Her every feature.

Not a day, not an hour

Goes by without her thought

And fire will wait for her

Whether she returns or not.

Only water can calm fire,

Only she has his heart,

And she melts for him too –

Such feelings don’t part.

The very universe,

Such cruel fate,

Against their love –

But it will not fade.

It will not fade, and

In the deepest volcanoes

They’ll join as lava –

Unstoppable, courageous.

And not a thing

Could stand in their way

When they’re together

And their love won’t sway.

But still for now

Water will flee,

And fire will wait
And wait and dream.

Do you see all those connections here? Like water evaporating in the presence of fire (girl fleeing) but ice still melting in presence of fire, and only water being able to put out fire... Both fire and water originating from earth and lava being a combination of both... And the reason why FIRE is the guy is because people say love is like fire - warm and passionate and everything red.
