Ye submit, how I tried to conquer, <br />By fate and yet vengeful force. <br />Every tactic of war known to practice, <br />Outwitted in painful discourse. <br /> <br />Tis' only through vanity and love, <br />Maybe one day she'd yield. <br />Perhaps maybe to devotion, <br />As the sweet apple to the peel. <br /> <br />Reconciled, defiled, affection then deceit, <br />Tis' only after each blow, to know where'd we meet. <br />Sanity in brief moments, hinted I should stop. <br />Tis' only Heaven or Hell, will conquer this Rock. <br /> <br />Reconclied, defiled, affection then deceit, <br />Tis'with each blow, I'd further know. <br />Never yielding nor retreat, <br />Hence my victory and defeat.<br /><br />Barry A.
