Opposing Desires
White flares slice the ocean crust
the brassy flameletes taunt
and torment the sea foam
War drums echo off the salty shoreline
Long flicks of the ruby mane provoke
a hissing from the waves
the opposing side;
co-existence
is not foreseeable.
Waves tackle the golden
coast engulfed in hot ambers
a tangled web of fire surrounds the
salty sea. Black sky stained with
soot.
rain like amber coal
desperately trying
to reclaim
the soil. The battle rages on.
fiery breaths wheeze and crackle
the silver liquid victoriously pierce
the scarlet flames
the warmth fades and floats
with the smooth waves of the
tranquil sea
