This is a poem I wrote that I ended up putting to music. (Moiraine actually has a copy)
____________________________________________
I liken you to a flame
shining so bright and burning with a passion
that lights up my senses
all too soon
fading
leaving me with your scent
drifting
hints of the moment
passing me by
I liken you to a flame
burning to touch
but
giving me light
I liken you to the ocean
wild and furious
yet enticing and uplifting
you follow me to northern reaches
lochs and black seas
to southern beaches
bays
and warm breezes
you pervade all my worlds
changing, rearranging me
The oceans depth is yours
many colours
playing up
and down
I liken you to the rain
breaking the drought
and washing away
the garbage
of old
leaving me
with flowing rivers of my soul
I know I should stay inside
in and avoid you
and so I watch
entranced
only to go out
get wet
and then curse your leaving
