wonderful, delightful, ever so decadent
lover of life and all things pure;
the one true force of good.

vengeful, spiteful, ever so dreadful
harbinger of death and all things corrupt;
the absence of good.

apart, they are enemies, nothing more...
and yet, ever so coy and bashful
until they meet.

friction, heat, and the fires of cohesion
meld together into something passionate;
the lovechild of life and death...
