The Layers in Battle
~
A Stony Mask caused by Stony Skin, hiding a great, Throbbing Heart.
A Stony Mask caused by Stony Heart, sheathed by smiles and perfect Creamy Skin.
A Hate at first glance.
Throbbing Heart met Stony Heart
and Creamy Skin met Stony Skin
in a War of Taunts and Swords and Power
destroying the Battlefield with lashes of anger,
decimating the Land with Fire and Jeers.
but Somewhere in the midst of War,
the Throbbing Heart melted Stony Heart
and Stony Skin met Creamy Skin and found only
A Strange Kind of Acceptance.
both masks cracked One Time
and were illuminated by the Sparks of battle,
and the Now-expressive Stony Skin, and the Somewhat-softened Stony Heart
both lashed out with frightened Fury.
Unguarded for a precious Moment
shocked by the Truth they finally see
both were rocked to the Floor, to their Knees,
by the startled Attack of the other.
Battle-worn and Battle-scarred, both lay Panting on the floor
to Stare at the Other
for One Long Moment
and realized Something, long denied,
and Crashed together in another War
that again sought Conquest and Domination
but with weapons of Lips and Wandering Hands.
a Scar healed by a Soft Caress
words Forgiven by Teasing Lips
a sudden Comprehension
by a single Soul that resided in Two,
Writhing shells
as words are Abandoned as Eyes learned to speak
and as those same Eyes learned to understand.
A Revelry in the Dark...
and a new series of Violent Wars
Hurtled Themselves across the battlefield,
though now impassioned Fury became furious Passion
and now the loser became the winner's Prize,
though "loser" now became Debatable.
