Lithium

Twisted fire-blown metal

Contorted & shaped to the chemistry of you.

The chemistry you create

I’ll be your lithium, your outlet of inspiration.

[I’ll be your inspiration.]

Shape me to be your sepulcher of broken promises

And too many now empty dreams/fantasies.

Now struck cold by reality

Life unharbored inside 4 walls

I’ll be the place your dreams go to end.

Let me be your reality.

 

Take me from paper sharp edges

[I need to be softened up a bit]

Chilled, and frozen in ice-

Freezer burned.

I’ll shine in the reflection of the moons reflection of the sun

But only an illusion

Until you unwind me with fired-hot-hot-heat.

Lithium is one of those most shocking elements on our own periodic table seeing that it hold so much potential to do so very much and yet it holds so many functions seeing the first and most widely known one is to handle depression as well as being able to transfer heat to household products such as toasters and microwaves as well as being something that makes Twenty-First Century communication truly possible when it comes to our cell phone's battery life. I do like the poem here seeing it conveys something different in it. I don't know where to truly place where it struck me in that way, but it feels as if it can convey so much and it does seem to be a quiet reassurance in it when I begin to read it and as i finish reading it.
