Your Move

Lost in Murphy

Navigate love like a strict game of chess, 

Blind fool's indeavor expect nothing less,  

Hide behind knights and rooks and your pawns,

Light you won't see as it breaks across dawn,  

You plan your each move to strengthen your your wall,

Soon all that is round you fails as it falls,  

Trapped in the corner with nowhere to run, 

Don't be surprised when I say that I'm done.

          Thank you Pharaoh. I never thought my ramblings would have this kind of impact.

          Lost, I really like the love to chess comparison. But no matter how many moves ahead you plan, on move from the other side can set you back a player, or in the worst case, snatch your king. I love your poem, kind of wish I could have thought of something like this.
          Great writing and even greater imagination!

            I always question the validity of what I write, I think that's natural. Thank you so much for your comments. If I inspired you that is the greatest compliment my friend.

            Good write but I think you will find that no matter how good a game you play love will always make checkmate.

              Profound words Goldfinch, you see right through me. Thank you
