we’re fire and water
you and I
two firstborns
passionate lovers
determined fighters
sometimes with each other
sometimes against the world
but always together
our clashes
are epic
but our passion
for each other
even more so
solo and leia
buffy and angel
edward and bella
have nothing on us
i think about us
as i hear the door close
behind you
and
our brilliant little bookworm
this morning
the best of us both
in her sweet face
the house is quiet
except
for the sounds
of the shower
and
the dulcet tones
of another small one
gifted with
our passion for music
she belts out her
song of joy
our smallest creation
a giant
lays beside me
drinking his breakfast
his happy spirit
a mirror of yours
his determination
a blend of both
the day begins
it flaunts its challenges
in our faces
it taunts us
and thinks it has
the upper hand
it does not realize
we have already won
in what
we have created
it cannot hear
dulcet tones
see sweet brilliance
bask in a happy spirit
it has not
yet met
US
my love
i’ll forge it with fire
you quench it with water
we will
create a thing
of beauty
and strength
just
like
US
Monna, you have the most beautiful spirit!
