Blade of the Heart

This is what I live for...
Keen blade in my mind's eye
Tempered in the inferno of intellectual combat
Where gains and losses are measured not in wounds
As in wars of anger
But in hidden personal victories
Secret motives driving goals within
Striving to find out what the opponent wants
To decide whether to yield it willingly
Or to make her strive for it
Making you wonder what prizes
She's already won from you
Love is a battleground
Where both opposing armies can and do
Emerge victorious
