Love Poem: Chess Anyone

Chess Anyone

You send out your pawns to test my strength

I also send mine and we start the friendship at length

Then you move your rook up and down or to the side

I’m starting to be interested there’s nowhere for you to hide

Next is your knight that moves in the shape of an L

I’m falling for you and I’m under your spell

You send a bishop to show some faith

He moves in diagonal stealing my heart for you like a wraith

You wonder which piece of you I will touch and take

I study your board carefully it’s a tough decision to make

You’re a Queen and I’m at your beck

We get so close now I got you in check

I’m the King of our castle this is fate

I pull you in close for a kiss and that’s checkmate

We knew the rules and played our emotional strategies to hatch

This love battle has just begun but that’s game set match
