words run dry
a splash of emotion
   a leak
        like spilled fire
         spreading
             flowing
                 burning
                     freezing
fire & ice
pain & paradise
from my heart to my head
     ~dizzy, confused, unfocused
from my heart, through my arms,
   m y   h a n d s
                burning freezing an itch a tickle a pain
tears ready to form
       SPILL
over my cheeks
breaking my silent fury
betraying my self-induced turmoil
crushing like death
flying in ecstasy
falling against my will
                             crashing
burning...freezing
a paradox of a feeling
          A PARADOX IN YOUR SMILE
a crushing blow
      death...ecstasy
               fire...ice
                       burning...freezing
