War Of The Sexes
Loaded,
Cocked and fired, cannon explodes.
Your cavalry charge this valley.
Shot, down in flames, you take me
Surrendered or fighting.
I fuel you, another charge.
Your war cry echoes
This death dance.
Do you take prisoners
(back to your torture chambers)
Or lay siege this fortress, and trap me here?
Cowboys and Indians, Cops and Robbers.
Truce... till we fight again.
But next time
It's my time
You play Indian.

Thank you Nigel for commenting ?
The line 'knight takes maiden' is a strong one,
It has connotations of chivalry, anti-chivalry, and also chess!
Thanks also to everyone who clicked 'Like' for this poem ?
