Our Fire
by Poetic Rizz
Original poem "Us" by Claudette
Poetry Now Version
I’m a wildfire,
you a lone flame,
I burned with desire,
you stayed cool in the game.
I’m all about the heat,
you’re steady and clear,
I was loud in my passion,
but you never showed fear.
I’m easily swayed by sights,
you keep your eyes on the prize,
while I danced in the light,
you just smiled and stayed wise.
I’m a canvas of bright hues,
you a calm shade of grey,
together we’re art in motion—
growing old is our masterpiece.
— Poetic Rizz
Original Poem
Me... a blazing fire
you... a solitary candle
I was passion and desire
I was always hard to handle
Me... so open, full of life
you... so private and sincere
I thought you were too precise
you thought I was never clear
Me... so trusting and so warm
you... so cautious and reserved
I was like a thunderstorm
yet you never were perturbed
Me... so easily distracted
you... so focused on the task
while I entertained our friends
you would smile at me and bask
Me... a multitude of colour
you... a steady hand to hold
don't we complement each other
as together we grow old...
