Fire and Ice

If You were fire and I was Ice I'd extinguish your flame every day Or just maybe You would cause me to melt away We could never exist in each other’s embrace Because when I hold your hand in mine That would seal our fate And that's fine because Every Cold heart needs a warm touch And even hot coals need to be cooled Don't school me about temperature Don’t make me graduate from my subzero degrees. So let's stare life in the face We can take a leap of faith And there we would collide Unruly fire and frosty ice Your dying embers and my tear shaped drops Would be the last things that remain Of you being fire and me being ice

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
