FIRE AND ICE

Friends who loved
each other deeply
couldn't say the word...

Opposites attract
you see
although it seems absurd...

And John warmed to Bobby
like a fiery
Summer breeze...

And Bob wanted John
but feared rejection's
painful freeze...

And so the two together
fell to pieces;
buried lust...

And their world
was ice & ashes
fearful glances
dust to dust.
