I was the one who burned. Lightest thing in all the universe, I carried fire in my nature. Inflammable they called me, the one who needs only a spark to become a catastrophe.. I was hunger. I was uprising. You were the one who fed the flame. Not burning yourself, but making burning possible. the silent accomplice, the arsonist behind every blaze, the one who says to fire:- “Come, I will hold the door open for you.” You sustained destruction without ever being destroyed. Two accomplices to ruin. What business did we have meeting at all? But somewhere in the proximity of violence, something neither of us had the intention for ; began to happen. you reached, I reached, and in that reaching electrons moved. Not taken. Not surrendered. Shared the only democracy that exists at the atomic level, the only transaction where both parties become something they could never be alone. A bond formed in the geometry of love. One oxygen. Two hydrogen. The chemistry of surrender producing the matter that makes the universe inhabitable. And what we made ? WATER !! That carries neither my fire nor your gift for feeding it. What we made is the very thing that walks into burning buildings and says: enough. What we made puts out what we both, separately, existed to ignite. --- This is the alchemy no one predicted; that two forces of destruction, meeting in the precise angle of willingness, could forget their natures entirely. And become the source of all life, the quencher of all flame, the oldest paradox: that what burns hottest, learns, through union, how to heal.

OH ! The paradox of Union
I was the one who burned. Lightest thing in all the universe, I carried fire in my nature. Inflammable they called me, the one who needs only a spark to become a catastrophe.. I was hunger. I was uprising. You were the one who fed the flame. Not burning yourself, but making burning possible. the silent accomplice, the arsonist behind every blaze, the one who says to fire:- “Come, I will hold the door open for you.” You sustained destruction without ever being destroyed. Two accomplices to ruin. What business did we have meeting at all? But somewhere in the proximity of violence, something neither of us had the intention for ; began to happen. you reached, I reached, and in that reaching electrons moved. Not taken. Not surrendered. Shared the only democracy that exists at the atomic level, the only transaction where both parties become something they could never be alone. A bond formed in the geometry of love. One oxygen. Two hydrogen. The chemistry of surrender producing the matter that makes the universe inhabitable. And what we made ? WATER !! That carries neither my fire nor your gift for feeding it. What we made is the very thing that walks into burning buildings and says: enough. What we made puts out what we both, separately, existed to ignite. --- This is the alchemy no one predicted; that two forces of destruction, meeting in the precise angle of willingness, could forget their natures entirely.

The whirlwinds from this hurricane Creates a continuous world warp the destructive tide remaining inside Terrifying, flashing lighting side to side Clearly everywhere it's a mystery Drift to sleep and float in peace. It's best to keep calm, cool and collective. When it comes to friends I am overprotective as well as selective. Under any form. Not every choice, is worth a risk. Take a moment to feel the shift, before you flip the script! You cannot hold on to it. Allow it comfort you. Another day with you is more than a gift. Vacuous matters weighing on you dissolve and wash away You give me life. In every situation must not lose your composure Remain free of tension. A wise one of the world Embedded it in our souls... "To be formless... Formless like water"

Water
Le colosse pleure. Il bouillonne Il a soif. Il crie de sa voix frémissante : H2O ! Ses lèvres sont en ébullition Il délire Il voit partout ton eau en mirage H2O ! H2O ! Hache deux eaux ! Hache deux eaux ! Et tu ne sais que faire Pour le faire taire. Tu lui murmures un cantique à l'oreille Zozo lait, zozo lait rhum Et tu l'allaites de ton fleuve tiède Essi ozo Solide liquide et gazeuse Il te trait à gros bouillons Essi ozo Hache deux eaux Essi ozo Les eaux de la Volta Les eaux de la Seine Les eaux des Trois Rivières Et des Vieux-Habitants Les eaux du Gange Bouent et s'évaporent À cent degrés C En grosses bulles sulfureuses Au coin de ses lèvres chaudes Qui s'abreuvent dans l'oasis de ta béatitude .

Princesse H2O
The human body is typically somewhere around 60% water So when I spot you in a room filled to the brim with an ocean of people You have to understand you are like a tidal wave crashing against my hearts shore, Something I can neither deny nor ignore

H2O
On a good day I could say I'm swimming under the water Compared to my usual days spent in the bottom of a pit drown as a stone <I wish to breathe and one day maybe float> Lift the pressure. Fly.

H20
if looks could ****      i'd be slaughtering the masses and if these walls could talk      they'd probably never stop laughing but if that ***** of a mattress should crack and leak the secrets of mine that she keeps in her chest- like tightly bound metallic coils-      so help me lillith i'll burn this house to the ground      i'd rather see all that i've built turn into ashes than to hear her voice rehasing all the whispers i'm slinging whilst fast asleep      or how i cry in bed for weeks      or the way i flinch when the sun crosses my face like a shadow i can't name      i'm a mess a natural disaster with whirlwind hair and a lightning strike pulse      in a second-hand dress that doesn't fit right           i'm fine      i'll survive but should you be the boy i find      and i bring you home tonight just know that i'm better than alright           know how very much i feel alive regardless of the subconscious soliloquies you unleash in your half-silence      divulging secrets whilst you slumber           i wake like the waves lapping at a fallen empire's shoreline      and quest to test your lyrical limitations and the possible personification of your breath      and your chest           heaving like the sea himself

sleeping 'longside strangers.
Water is a must without it life is a bust It's the element we support and trust But not all have that tool in there hand To a normal person they waste it and take it for granted cuz it tastes bland People who have to go looking for this prized possession end up dying of dehydration Don't you you see? My demise is so low it wines up in the deep blue sea Nowadays people in cali end up in drought We might have to cut down on water but i think thats a doubt As for you Why don't do a good deed And give water to someone in desperate need

Water
Inside my brain There is a tornado Spinning to infinity and beyond. God only knows how fast. My shoulders ache and my feet cramp. My wrists click And my eyes go damp. Inside my brain instead is a monsoon: A tumultuous storm that rages on. Waves froth and smash, Beating against the backs of my eyeballs. Sometimes they find their way Down my soft spotted cheeks. My lashes float to the earth One by one by one by one. Would you collect them for me Like discarded flower petals Down the aisle of my soul's chapel And press them into a scrapbook Full of twisted memories? Inside my brain is an H2O tornado Like reckless rainstorm pirouettes. My swirling view is blurred, But every so often I catch a clear picture Of the glowing whites of your eyes And I remember to fill my lungs, Head above the water, And breathe. Twirl, twist. Wind, mist. But don't panic, Because every so often I catch a clear picture Of you.
