the dance

an elegant dance has begun
the fighters are set
muscles tense
words flare and fly
but all that's awaited is a sudden motion
daring blink swift shift
knowing elation the dancers ascend
heat so palatable to the skin
from the anger as it burns
screaming now implications and dares
roaring horrible accusations
a throw glass, impatience
a thrown vase, excitement
lunging as one the fight begins
muscles roil beneath the skin
sweat forms breaks runs
these two fight in silence
pressed skin to skin
'passions blast
know no bounds
clothing shredded
the fights brought to ground
one on top then the other
teeth and nails used in force
blood mixes with the sweat
bodies churning forcing relentless
trying to be the first
then silence reins
and stillness
all to be heard is the labored breathing
seen is the working lungs
tender words exchanged
sweet and soft kisses
forgiveness and love
declared eternal
as both drift to dreams
yet both having mild thoughts
on the next argument to bring
