You claim the earth is flat...

I’ve got to say, I’m not sure about that.

I poured water in a bowl,

and truth to be told,

it stayed inside,

and did not roll.

When I put water on the counter

it fell and faltered,

waterfalled down a bit off-kilter.

Google says earth is 71% percent water,

and though I don’t claim to be smarter,

it seems we’d run out of water pretty quick,

cause it’d fall right off the brink.

We’d have nothing left to even drink,

so maybe it’s not quite as you think.

Fire is a sound

an emission of strangest light

and thus, to and for, it sways

would you deny its seductive nature

a ferocity of cunning power

that render even the most robust cavaliers absurd

you've seen nothing if you've not seen a fire

rolling over the ceiling, licking the air

a victim holds his breath; a few brave sould beat it

it crawls beneath the door, turning everything to dust

breathing darkest vapors, swift in maneuver

there's not victory here, it gets ahead

but out there are men and women of uniform

individuals who call to fire, chasing what we all avoid

why then don't we hold them as our heroes and heroines

In Love, we will always be amateurs.

If you think about it, the word "amateur" literally means "lover of" in French, which takes its root from the Latin word "amator", "lover".

And as lovers, we will never fully understand our own desires, we will never tame our passion or conquer our pain. All we can do is blindly follow the heart, or ignore it. We can never be anything more than amateurs.

it is all too easy to shatter 

& I am afraid of our fragility

as fragmented pieces of sanity

crash down from the sky
