We go over the fantasies in our minds
Conversations, like an anticipated rhyme

Plucking, the one verse of beauty
the art, amidst reason's remorse

thinking three moves ahead
behind a well developed defense

we've had a good opening
the pieces are in place

eye to eye
staring across the table
smile to smile

forgetting whose move it is
the King feigns

His only thought being...

if we we're dating
there would be flowers

waiting
at your door

nice game play

if really interested?
make your move,
put those flowers by the door

(should be were, not we're, the contraction of we are)

Very well crafted, dear Kenneth!

Playing chess while being in love seems quite the challenge!


Enjoyed this!

Love,
