Passion and anger and love,

Tranquility that we all bear,

Within our own inner souls,

Rolled into a great power magnet.

Focus on your angering moments,

Make your passion and hatred grow,

Focus on loving, tranquil moments

To keep your hatred in check.

This provides the physical prowess,

To face the darkest points of your life,

While keeping yourself from turning evil,

And disrupting the precious balance.

For fire is the flame of vengeance,

But also the warming fire of love.

It is the melting heat of anger,

And the soothing flame of balance.

Fire is the purgatory of sin,

And the guilt and guillotine of justice.

Embrace the power of the feeding flame,

And you will feel the power of Fire.

    I've been going back and forth on reading this one, but I finally clicked on the story and I'm glad I did. This story, although choppy in the beginning and at times in need of some minor editing, created a very bleak yet intriguing picture of marriage and relationships. The writing style was creative and the characters wonderfully drawn despite it being a short story. Although i wouldn't necessarily categorize this as a romance in the typical sense, it does a nice job of looking at a different aspect of relationships than stories of the Danielle Steele variety.
