Pawns I’m just a pawn In your power games You protect your queen But what of me I’m sacrificed, swept away My moves across Your chequered path In single squares Never allowed to race Or block your way I’m sequestered away A disposable asset Cut to pieces By the hurtful words Reduced to snatching Crumbs of your time Someone who waits But isn’t allowed to Take more than An odd moment I’m a subsequent clause A throwaway line Someone you only see To extol the virtues Of your angelic dream Her vast superiority Far outweighs my charms You compare us Denying me any worth Except a good heart I’m a bagatelle A nonentity to you And yet, I still wait Wait until you can see That I am worth more Than her flashy looks I’m real, I’m true And still I remain In love with you Marsha© This is a poem I wrote a long time ago, but have just rediscovered it on an old hard drive. please forgive me posting something so old, it isn't about me, either then and definitely not nowadays. Love you all muchly x x x x Tomorrow is another day I don't know what it holds |

Nice to know it is not about you (smiles) I’m a subsequent clause A throwaway line Wonderful lines, but I do love those two. Alison |

I’m a subsequent clause A throwaway line Absolutely brilliant! *S* I love the entire poem... but these touch me in particular... maybe because I know writing a lot better than chess. *S* So much pain... written perfectly. *S* |
