Lovers' warfare

Two lovers exchange x's and O's...

What starts off peaceful,
erupts into a dispute,
cuddles gets burned,
arm-locks waned,

Back to back,
it's now time to stretch sheets,
and as she pulls on the edges,
he ends up in the cold,

Reaches out for the duvet,
a kitchen he'd rather abscond-
so he reaches in for a kiss,
to persuade his enemy,

She loosens the sheet,
his strategy successful.
peace talks unravel,
apologies assemble,
pillows lock together.
safety lock is turned on.

Kisses fly though the air.
cuddles now warranted.
arm-locks on maybe.
the heat; unbearable.

Conversation opened;
words misused,
tempers unearthed.
Once again,
it's back to back;
in this a.m sack-

Where lovers war fare never seizes.
