Debated Love

They glare at each other,
Smiling all the while,
Banter shooting back and forth.
Good thing they don't have guns,
Else their words would be lethal.

But their gazes are locked -
They both relish the challenge,
Passion building between them,
Stoking fires for their roses.

Suddenly they're close together,
No room even for a Hallmark Card,
Lip to lip,
Poison words swallowed by an eager kiss.

They back away,
Smile...

And then they're back to throwing daggers.

    Thank you for entering my contest. You did a great job using contrasts with this poem. It is well written and I enjoyed it very much.

    A rose with thorns...love can we beautiful and then it can turn! Interesting debate for sure. War of the Roses was a good movie for sure! Good luck in the contest ~Sie

    Hehehehe...This one is EPIC!!! I absolutely love it. Comical yet serious all at the same time. This is perhaps my all-time favorite.
