Forts and Castles

Your heart is a fort
          mine is a castle,
the ramparts of each
          are unassailable.

Send in your dragon,
          I'll send in my knight,
what will prevail 
           the armor or fire?

The fire 
          of your heart
 melts the armor 
          of mine.

The fort 
         and the castle
entwine and become 
          a kingdom of love.

I like the what you created -- so imaginitive but real at the same time. Great contest entry.
