Choose your weapon wisely
For I'll grant no second chance
In this moment of destruction
How will it be, your warrior stance?

Will you unsheathe your tongue
To slash with rapier wit
Or maim with piercing dark eyes
In murderous black silence sit

Perhaps you'll fly with flailing fists
Pummeling with all your might
Or slowly seek to strangle
With abandonment in the night

You could seek another
A champion for your cause
Inflicting the deepest wounds
From betrayals poisonous claws

However you may choose
This is your one final chance
My love's embattled heart lies torn
So please, let us end this bloody dance

A great example of a pleaful dialogue from an embittered man toward his woman (wife?) WELL DONE!

Thanks one and all for your responses.

Sir WOW: Your remarks are a boon. Although I've put words to paper off and on, I've only been serious about it these past six months.

Sunshine: I've enjoyed several of your's as well. Thanks for coming by.

Balladeer: Your every word is an inspiration. I thank you for taking the time and energy to respond to nearly all my postings. You are one of the best!

Rita: Thanks for coming by, credit where credit due.

P.S. I love my wife dearly, and she loves me. Our dance is a beauty to behold.
