You’re fire
and sometimes ice
Oh, touch engraved
on unassuming skin.
Desire burns
and it’s hard
to distinguish lone
sensation.
Your words pierce
as ice,
while gaze warms
as fire.
And,
yet towards want
does my heart aspire.

The way ice can burn is in a way so much deeper than the fire… but worst is that lack of burn.

Oh Sanaa, better fire and ice than damp and fog! A metaphoric poem full of passion, especially:
‘Your words pierce
as ice,
while gaze warms
as fire’.

Yes, fire and ice. Love is made up of both. Very evocative poem, Sanaa.
Thank you so much, Mary 😀 so glad you enjoyed it ❤️
Yes dear Sanaa – the irresistibility of desire works right across the spectrum – once snared, delight dances whatever, savouring the prospect of delicious surrender… Again love the vitality in your work…
Thank you so much, Scott 😀 so good to see you ❤️
The heart will want what it wants, even if the wanting leaves it on fire… or made ice.
