Opal
You are ice and fire,
The touch of you burns my hands like snow.
You are cold and flame.
You are the crimson of amaryllis,
The silver of moon-touched magnolias.
When I am with you,
My heart is a frozen pond
Gleaming with agitated torches
Amy Lowell
Art is the desire of a man to express himself, to record the reactions of his personality to the world he lives in.
