Moonbeams through the window cast soft shadows on the bed... The darkness helps to ease the demons chasing through my head... Your cutting words were hurled like daggers perfect in their aim... Now, I'm the loser...You're the winner... 'Master' of the game... The game is strictly verbal, it's a simple game for two... The rule is universal: see what damage you can do... The weapons are the words, and they've been sharpened--finely honed... Now all you need is one to play... (can't play this game alone)... It's best if you can choose a partner closest to your heart... There seems to be more pleasure and it's easier to start... You know your partner's weakness, You can thrust the knife right in... Your weapons wait impatiently, So.. Let the games begin!!! It starts with simple argument, no need to raise your voice... Just small remarks at first, will do, each word is quite by choice... You throw them back and forth awhile... You toss the words around... The object of the first gameplay, is to wear your partner down... And then you pick some cutting words, to enter second stage... They're sharp enough to draw some blood, and push the game to rage... That's where the game becomes the fight, it's time to zero in... You're at the point where you could lose... (But usually you win!) The words are aimed precisely now... They cut right to the bone... The scars they leave will never heal... And you'll be left alone... There's always other partners... But it just won't be the same... My love made me the prey...and made you 'Master' of the game! < !signature--> Today is a gift.... That is why they call it 'the Present'!

Sunny, You've done a superb job on this one. He may be the master of the game, but you are the master of words. Finely done, my friend. Mchael |

Well spoken and written. Words so often are so easy to say and hurt while alone more than most things combined. |

Geez Sunny...I almost missed this one. Me thinks that I had another attack of the blinking eyes, as I went by. You sure tell it just like it is. Well done, as always. |

Sunny Who says that kids don't think before they say things and their words can really hurt. You certainly have depicted the truth here - but remember that you always hurt the one that is closest to you. Once the words are said, it is hard to retrieve them. Bite that tongue!! Great poem. didi |

Hi Michael... Thank you for the really nice reply, my friend. It's not the words so much, as how we use them, right? Hi Marcy... I thought I did!! I hate word fights....I'm not good at that. To me, words have a more useful purpose. That was the idea behind this one. Thank you for reading!! Hi Knight Dreams... Thank you, and I appreciate you reading this one!! Hi Bill.... And thank you for stopping to read! Well, this one was sparked in real life, I'm afraid!! I lost!! Hi didi.... Yes, once you spit them out, they have a life of their own!! Thank you!!! Hello Sunshine.... Ah, now, you really do have a wonderful way with words, and they always make me feel good!!! Thank you, my friend!! Today is a gift.... That is why they call it 'the Present'! |

If he be the master of the game then it is only one battle he enjoys as you have won the war. Your words slice through with too much ease and the pain is all too real...Hope you did run like hell....right through his sorry _ _ _ and in losing you he has lost his one tiny victory. Well said and with piercing power. |
