The Boxer (Free verse) by DreamerSupreme
My bloody eyes stare
at your sweating shadow.
I feel your fists turn my face
into a Picasso painting.
I stand waiting
for you to tire, so I can
deliver my blow to your ribs
and push the air out your lungs.
You didn't see that coming,
launching my fist to your pretty cheek,
making your knees feel weak.
I bet you never knew
that an old man like me
could stand while your soft
hands deep massage my body
into nothingness.
Child, you thought you were wild,
But I am the master waiting patiently,
while you do your best to prove yourself
when I've already proven everything.
You scream into the air,
falling face first to the ground
and the last sound I heard
was your whimpering.
The last image you saw
was my Picasso face smiling.
