Cover image for post She is Bourbon and Water and Fire, by Shells

Shells in Poetry & Free Verse

She is Bourbon and Water and Fire

She was the beauty in the flames

The twirling dance of danger and fire

Hypnotic perfection hovering wild

Just above the innocent need in her eyes.

Fractured bones of brutal strength

Support the bending weight of

Shoulders too slight.

She is cracked and not quite broken.

The silence in the wind

The coming storm of perfect

Waves

Drawn out beneath the turmoil of

The sky.

She is beauty and unseen strength

She is bourbon and water and fire.
