Crimson red laser beams and warships
Behold a homicidal courtship
Where everything is measured
by which words are wisely used by the wordsmith
Tangled in a web where we both misconstrue
The definition of perfect
befuddled by smoke and mirrors
Planting thoughts to paint pictures
Enter a faulty dream sequence
Where we both dismember are schemes frequent
Unidentified bogeys aiming the bulls eye on each others’ weakness
Prepare for the ultimate tug of war by risking
everything including these 32 pieces
settle down let the clock run
and focus on the board
bishop knight rook pawn
missing something more?
Queen king all aboard
en garde full force
matching my moves to yours
Check please /check mate
Games played/ death waits
Take me to a safe place
Break me/get paste
Hasty revenge plates
Race at a crazy pace
Ready for the next date?
GO before it gets late
Put your guard down for a night out with a night owl
Gain your trust to the point where u no longer sigh doubts
White flag commencement persuading you
to sign on a dotted line shower you with gifts
trojan horse in mind with no understanding of what my goal is
cloak and dagger
you know at which point
I thrust and twist (gotcha)
no not yet
Still much more left to gain confidence
Don’t worry babe im working hard
Breaking backs often meant
Blood and sweat
with words that pierced Teflon vests
gaining access to the box in your chest
traveling to connect
with the mush in your head
lungs lost breath, woozy legs
but you covered up a front
already steps ahead
Check please /check mate
Games played/ death waits
Take me to a safe place
Break me/get paste
Hasty revenge plates
Race at a crazy pace
Ready for the next date?
GO before it gets late
ill twiddle thumbs til the pictures hung
or til im old and gray with brittle lungs
push and pull whos the winner? none!!!
Middle finger flung
by way of
a crystal clear pun
Knight wont budge
so I move only cuz im forced to
but my true intent is only to serve you
love being the final score on both ends
huff and puff til were both dead
cats game but situations like this rarely end that way
final efforts adding up to a bad break
take that!!! Wait
recalculate every single move
back to the drawing board
too late nothing more done
oh where did we go wrong
im assuming when the fat lady rung
her grand finale of a song
