Warrior Stance

He stands in diametrical opposition, taking in the measures of his opposite self, taking on the warriors stance, that leads into the martial dance. His pace is measured, every breath taken at deliberate pace, as he puts on a mask of passivity, that is now his warriors face. The dance begins, the energy pools at hands and feet, as he waits coiled for the opportunity to strike, his steps are refined to the point of infinite calculation, so that no two steps remain the same, to be analyzed in the warriors game. The coiled spring strikes out, past the mounted and now shattered defence , the defender has changed his vibratory nature, as the defender becomes the one who is on the offence. The game continues, as liquid flows are merging, and the offender becomes the defender, as the defender becomes the offender, and the skilled might and the roll of the dice, become the judge of the victorious contender.

I feel privileged to be the first to comment on your thoroughly entertaining piece. Were you possibly inspired by this phrase from Dylan... "In a soldier's stance, I aimed my hand At the mongrel dogs who teach"?

Tbe title of the video inspiration, if you wish to see it, Ken, is "The Animatrix - The Final Flight Of The Osiris (Fight scene in Construct). It's more provocative than I remember LOL I love the music, the tension, the atmosphere.

Sorry it took a bit of tie to get to replying. I've not gotten in the habit of checking my poetrysoup more regularly. I was inspired by the sparring session in the animatrix movie, mostly. I loved the whole energy of it. The tension between the two fighters, the music that enhanced the feel of it, and the overall visuals. It made for a very evocative scene of marital combat.
