Fire
I can bring warmth,
to the heart of the cold.
I can bring brightness,
that will burn away darkness.
I can bring romance,
to a lovely couple
having a candlelight dinner.
I can bring torture,
to criminal who is to be
burnt alive.
I can bring tears,
to family who lost their
loved ones to me.
I can bring destruction,
that will destroy the world.
I may be a heartless fellow
in this world
yet I will disappear when
I meet my end,
and that is the price
I will pay.

Excellent as always! I have just remembered how a huge fire destructed the entire block of houses in our city. Fire is both destructive and useful.

You do such a good job contrasting the positive and negative forces of the elements.
Oh,quite a sinister poem, I like it!
Sizzle sizzle…
Delightful piece for this most elemental of Mondays. Powerful words, a fine homage to the flames.
And again… where do you find all these beautiful soundtracks?! I may have to put some music behind my blog…

Most of them are from YouTube as mixpod used YouTube video, I always search on YouTube first then go over to mix pod to search for the same name song to grab the songs that I want, it is really easy to find =)~~ I can give you the code guideline site if u need, just have to find it ;D, because WP cannot embed flash or JavaScript just like that, we need the gigaya widget to help us =D
Again, a good capture of this element…
love the fire of romance…
very powerful piece.
Excellent personification of fire.
