Warriors soul

The spark of metal
as blades collied
a mix of friendship
and warriors pride

back and forth
the ebb and flow
the combatants pace
toe to toe

spin and parry
duck and thrust
each prepared to kill
if he must

the bond of friendship
has no place here
as the heat of battle
replaces their fear

equal opponents
balanced and true
either knowing
the other's view

two blades cross
leaving a bloody trail
as both friends smile
as both lives fail
