playing with poetry

At times it may be beautiful,
but at times you will get burned,
you may get lost in the sight,
and have no where to turn.

If you get to close and something goes wrong,
it can leave a scar,
at times it can be so big,
you can sense it from afar.

its a force that is hard to stop,
and can change some peoples lives.
so you grab the things closest to your heart,
and hold onto them tight.

comparing love to fire
