Interlocked

how hearts bring out the best of others

Like fire and ice
we are interlocked.
Each needing the other
to survive and love.

His heart of fire
melted my ice heart.
My heart of icicles
calmed the burning heart.

Fire of raging passion
Ice of protecting precious
Interlocked so completely
Perfect antidote and poison.

Heartbeat of fire
Iced stopped heartbeat
to create a median
only by being interlocked.

If you separate us
his heart will die in flames
my heart freeze 'til it stops
long painful struggle
without the perfect between
Interlocked in perfect unison.

Like fire and ice.
