Nightly we two engage
In a ritualized dance.
Me courting you doggedly,
Ever taking a chance
You will be serious
About affairs of the heart.
We begin to tease,
Soon the flirting will start.
I feint, you parry,
Seemingly dropping your guard,
But my thrust's deftly blocked
My confidence jarred.
Our match of wits quite often
Will last for hours
While I cast out phrases
And words like wildflowers
Then with three teasing words
That you've heard before
Once again I bid goodnight
To the one I adore.

Ironic and sweet, what a great combination.

And words like wildflowers
I loved that analogy.

Thanks. It is kinda the way things go for me sometimes. I keep working at it though. Hopefully, some day, I will get things squared away.

Thanks for the honorable mention. It can be viewed as a battle ... more often I think of my self as a mouse with an overly friendly cat. She is a great person. I keep working at it.
