Fire or Ice
January 30, 2015
If I should ever have a heart to stop,
It would stop its counting beat for you
However the burning desire
To burn your lips with mine of fire
'Cause your icy touch sends a shrill
And sets my nerves alight still
The exhilarating rush when your adoring eyes lock mine
still makes my cheeks flame and cower in sublime
And if the world should perish not once but twice
Fire or ice
I would face my doom with you at my side and laugh
And I would whisper the final words 'I love you'
And not have to listen to hear you say them too.

@wizad , thank you for the comment , and I have heard that before ... I would just like to say though that there is only one line that is the same and that is 'Fire or Ice' and with that even being the title of this poem I find this analysis a little unfair.

Hiya again @lyrahelix , thanks for your feed back , and looking through I completly understand the spelling mistakes and will edit as soon as possible. as for 'cower in sublime', It is meant to represent the butterfly sensation and the 'gooey' feeling of seeing your love , where as the cower part is there to subtly hint that the person feels beneath or below her/his love , thank you for asking and I am glad that I got the chance to explain , any other quieries please let me know xox
So as I said, the poem overall is good, but small things like "it's" instead of "its" as a possessive and "exhilerating" instead of "exhilarating" in spelling that are a bit distracting. Also, could you explain the line "and cower in sublime" to me? I don't really get it, but I have the feeling that it's important! Thanks :)
