see the waterfall
trickling and endless ray of tears
not of sorrow, joy, or fear
just and endless downward pour
of apathetic tears.

see the fire pit
spewing fourth molten lava, liquid rock
devouring everything in its path
raging
raging
onward onward onward

tis the true epitome of emotion,
passion, pain, and rage
a fiery feel infernal
burning its life eternal
encircling the globe
giving hope
giving light
binding the entire world
with flaming chains
of happiness and spite.

see the ocean currents rise and fall
swaying to the will of moon and wind
pretending to hide mysteries
for the easily deceived
holding awful memories
for those who's wish is misery.

see the high and mighty forest
kept alive by deceitful water
giving way, creating tainted fruit,
there is poison, death on every corner.

up higher higher
the sky full winds hold nothing good in store
shattered dreams
broken hearts
false hopes
wishes never granted.

tis plain for all to see
the only way to go
is death by sanctifying fire
by passion, heat
and most of all desire

Yet another poem about death. Counting mine this morning, there are three new poems about the demise of man. Popular subject for us poets.
