I love the juxtaposition of fire and water and the contradiction of flames being supported by water.

Ah, sometimes metaphors chain us, but sometimes they free us so! It's also related to the imagery @mamadini and I use for ourselves and one another, both in prior poems (here by her, and a response by me here), and outside of poetry.
Besides, it does make for a strong image. Does fire need not to drink, and breathe? Does water not feel the fire of passion within its heart?
