Jiu Jitsu Legs

the art of softness
a way of yielding
my face wears a
cunning samurai smile
after we make love
and I press tight 
with my thighs
around your waist
my ankles locked
I lie under your chest
with the illusion
I have yielded to 
your attack of love
and now I have you
with my jujitsu legs
grappling your heart
and I challenge you
with my eyes
to elude my hold
you offer no fight
only an obliging grin
and a docile glance
and I realize
completely unarmed 
you just won 
the match
