Shivery

inspired by one of my favorite TV characters of all time

Shivery

Closed and locked, the heart of Bryce
Fragile treasure encased in ice

A silver key of things unfelt
May cause the coldest ice to melt

Calculations replace dreams
As does tech the lover's schemes

When all around him lie impure
His chastity still does endure

What lover's touch and words suffice
To melt the frigid heart of Bryce?

Author's Note

If you're unfamiliar with the Max Headroom series of old, Bryce was Max's creator. He was very standoffish emotionally speaking, but also really cute.
