Fire and Ice

I hate to love You This love, a fiercely lit fire Full of burning desire Like fire We burn bright like light Like fire We burn out without a fight And sometimes... I love to hate You With deep emotions, cold as ice Birthed within your binding lies Like ice It stings when I hold too much Like ice It melts with your soothing touch

Such powerful emotions expressed using metaphoric fire and ice. Succinctly illustrated poetry. I like that hate, like ice, thaws with the beloved's soothing touch. Good one, Wilfred.

Aww thanks a lot, Kim...... True, the deeper a hurt, the more sweet its release at the touch of a beloved.... Thanks again!!!
