The poems are organized into three sections: first "seasons" like spring, summer and winter which talk about the changing seasons of love: from hope of new love in spring, to warmth and passion in summer. Although there is no poem entitled "winter", it is dealt with in the first poem, showing a transition from "frozen faith" to "growing green". The second section deals with elements like "sunshine", "rain", "wind, "fire" and "sea". I wanted to do the four elements but instead the poems just happened this way. I found it was very natural to compare love to sunshine, and tears to rain but this is a bit clich, so I decided instead to use rain in terms of quenching a thirst with a kiss. The poem "wind" associates wind and freedom, and doing things that society doesn't expect you to do when you are in love, while "fire" is a good transition to the next section "violent elements" because it talks about things like "fire" and "lightning" and "thunderclouds" which are frightening and violent but are beautiful too, like love is. Then the section "violent elements" transition into "stormy night and the end section with only one poem: "evening" which talks about love dying like the day dying. I know that people will say that it is common to write about love and to compare it with nature, but I think these poems are different in that they try to avoid the usual clichs. I am very grateful to the person that inspired this anthology - even though there are many painful things to feel and say about love, it is a life-changing experience to have.

I. SEASONS

spring

I know it's spring when

the leaves turn green again

when my soul like shriveled straw

starts to grow green again

when my frozen faith in life and love

starts to melt and thaw again

when my heart that's brown and cold

opens at the touch of your hand

summer

the smell of flowers in June

goodbye which came too soon

and your memory which fills this room

the sound of tropical waves

the burn of bright sun rays

and your memory which stays and stays

the taste of yellow fruit

the bitter taste of truth

and memory of lost youth

II. ELEMENTS

sunshine

like I'd miss the sunshine if it went away

like I'd miss the stars at night

like I'd miss the air I breathe

I miss you so when you're out of sight

like the sand would miss the waves

I miss you so when you're away

and as there's such a drought in my heart

I miss you like grass misses rain

rain

I run a mile

through wind

and hail

and storm

and gale

through fire

and flame

to quench

my lips

in the rain

of your kiss

sea

I feel so blue

my world is gray

all my world without you

is like a ship gone away

I looked at you

you smiled at me

all my life without you

is like a blue blue sea

Every time the waves rush in

I just feel so alone

Every time the tide goes in

I remember you're gone

wind

wind in my hair

sun on my face

what do I care

got to leave this place

dirt on my heart

mud on my feet

where do I start

I just got to be free

blood on my hands

wine on my cheeks

feel so high

can't even sleep

forget these chains

forget society

I'm drunk with love

in love with your sanity

fire

sometimes it's fire

sometimes it's lightning

sometimes it's thunderclouds and rain

I'll tame a sunset

when times are frightening

to be your light

through darkness and pain
