{Authors' Note} so hello there… um this is my 1st ATLA ff and well I don't know what to say. I really like the zutara coupling and I felt I needed to write at least one fanfic about it so…. Here it is? It is in poem form and basically explains their connection all along, and aangs continual jealousy pulling them apart. Hope you like it

DISCLAIMOR: do not own avatar or anything like that, jus this poem.

Held Captive by Air

Crimson flames, a final breath,

Open wounds, put to the test,

Dripping crystal water pours, into the sea from open shores.

Ashes are blown away, as water freezes,

Air the cause, their problem ceases.

When passion burns it turn white hot, when water drips it falls for not,

One will sizzle, the other mist,

From that a simple, chaste, kiss.

Comes when it pleases, and leaves in vain, air kills both and leaves neither the same.

The match is blown out, nothing left but smoke,

A faint memory held, but feelings revoked.

The water runs dry, turns to the skys' tears,

It dries and pours, it washes into fears.

The wind feels joyus, happy and free,

But tie two down, so their won't be.

How else to make clouds?

But with fire and water?

But isn't to simple when air loves another,

Her basis is water, her fate of her own,

But love never attained from the fire nation throne.

A rival is kept,

He burns, he needs,

The simple touch of a love that pleads.

But it holds tight- the wind.

It decides just who, is his, or theirs,

For who is to whom.

At last it has found, a love unrequited,

And allows not, this binding so be it fighted.

Air blows out the flame,

Air dries the rain,

Air gets rid of the smoke,

And air derives the pain.

Soft whimsical breeze,

Then rush,

The cutting winds.

But slicing not water,

Only cutting the flame so thin.

So why are there clouds?

If we have not for this pair?

Well ask then water,

For being held captive by air.
