Analysis of Two Warriors

The last fight of the night
  two warriors squared off,
  all marbles
  now at hand

With feet and fists wrapped
  their spirits attacked,
  and of their bodies
  they now would demand

Each kick then got higher
  as their hearts did aspire,
  to what lay just beyond
  the others grasp

And as the referee sounded
  over hearts that still pounded,
  only the best of each other,
  --- had they asked
