Toe to Toe
Sandcastles of fleeing shallownessVerb bait awakened noun fist to action
The sparks couldn't resist skidding out of the way they flew
No simple damsel she his match
Toe to toe they measured other
Precision exact sparring with hidden art
Scorpion and the Bull, will to will
Round center and into backlands
Time travelers evasive shadow
She succeeded where others failed
To enter his encampment
The inner dimensional lonesomeness
Stone by stone his resistance raided
Clarity and spunk her steadfast allies
Through blind-spots and steep ravines
Whirling dance of the inner-spirit
Indeed matched so complete
She had come for his man heart
His barbs and wire strung all about
Agile and determined she knew his game
For had he not taught her
Aware of his strength and his passions
She practiced equal stealth
Wanting all of it, the hidden soul
Deep within the man
He knew no other way of bringing her near
For he was sure he'd never be taken
No domination would she submit
Like steel her character bent not
Under the storms of his arousal
Mysterious and determined
She knew the value of the outcome
Persistence and patience her high-wire
To walk unbarred through his mind
No broken filly this
She came to know her man
Landmine after landmine
Disrupting imprisoning beliefs
In what is holy and womanly
Kisses like lava rose from the essence
Of perfect alignment with his rhythm
Eyes so bold to go below into the depths of his sleeping dreams
Cherished in the heart is the state of his life
For this he could not forgive her
Break her asunder and take the plunder
Was a fleeting thought he pondered
She crouched not in the dark corners
Whimpered about how unfair
Rather instead briefly she revealed
That which made her, her
He would earn her respect
Showing his skills of heartfelt surrender
Otherwise back to the mountaintop secreted from view
For a time of inner reflection to birth each anew
Eventually he will cast aside his preference for simpering female flesh
You can be sure to look ahead he knows the road
He's followed her steps for years on his own
Silently but determined to discover her secret strengths and where she goes
Him she does not forget
