Water And Fire Poem by Larisa Rzhepishevska

Such a disaster once had happened.

Water and fire had fallen in love

Master to hug the fire was maddened,

Was so much afraid to hug his love.



Strong arms of fire enchanted, gleamed,

All around him has brightened.

Pull over to her love water dreamed

But the flames of fire frightened.



Prideful and beautiful was the fire

With each coming day his love blazed

To hug water was his greatest desire

But …to do it he was so much afraid.



The same often happens in life.

They love, but are afraid to show.

With the real feelings they strive,

Different ways they forever go.



Can’t live together water and fire.

One another they only admire.
