This link will take you to the film that was made for my poem where it was entered into an independent film festival. (I was not crazy about the voiceS of the female and male reading my poem and by the way the director of the film tried to take any credit at all for being part of the writing process of my poem.)

Part I: Ice He shines like silver midnight moon - cool marble statue, this tycoon. And though he makes the ladies swoon, of ice he’s hewn; of ice he’s hewn. He’s poker-faced and can deceive competitors and can achieve most anything, but can’t conceive of Genevieve, of Genevieve. Like Neptune, distant from the sun - relationships he chose to shun. He thought the search for love was done. He has no one; he has no one. Now love’s allure has come his way. What will he do? What will he say? Will he grab hold, beg love to stay, or let it stray? Or let it stray? Part II: Fire This dragoness disguised in lace - passion’s flower with angel’s face, precisely picks the time and place each dream to chase, each dream to chase. Like ink the color red, she stains the hearts of those whose love she drains, and then she leaves when naught remains No lust she feigns; no lust she feigns. And now there’s one who would suffice. For him alone, she’d sacrifice her everything, so he of ice she must entice, she must entice. So Genevieve now strikes the flame. Will man of ice his love proclaim? Beneath her fire and his cold frame, they’re both the same. They’re both the same. For the 'COMPLETELY YOUR CHOICE(29) any theme any form' Poetry Contest

Hi Andrea: Yes I do know the Fool of Infiniti in my poem is incapable of intimacy. So cool that we have similar poems. We certainly go back a ways. Thanks for checking one of my older poems. So few readers here look back. Hugs, SuZ

That's a wonderful poem, and so true: they are both the same. How sad the director tried to take credit for the poem. I imagine that happens a lot in the corporate world and in movies.

This is pure brilliance. The two themes are so beautifully played out in parts I and II, then the ending comparing them, amazing. The rhymes are pristine, as is your meter; no surprise there. But the tale you tell is so original, and the metaphors so symmetrical. I'll be reading this over and over to learn from the teacher ~ A fav

Hmmm, this was written maybe in 2008. So I am ahead of my time. Did Game of Thrones borrow something from me? hahaha ( I watched first two or three episodes of that show and finally gave up on it. it's just too complex and I can't keep the characters straight. Were there characters in it like those in my Fire and Ice story?)
