Daily Verse a short verse (almost) every day

Dueling

How long I’ve waited for you to come
my equal, able, worthy foe.
How long I’ve wished to unleash myself
and see how far can I go.

You let me be my full, true self:
my every fiber working as one.
Not so with friends and allies with whom
compromises must be done.

I won’t hold back, not anymore,
for you can take a beating.
And with you, in loss there’s equal joy
as there is in defeating.
