A chess game piece, perhaps a king
Whose movement was confined
I'd slay the pawns with easy work
On edges that were lined

But you, sly queen, with limits none
Moved in to seal my fate
My castle failed, my knights are gone
You win, I lose, check mate

A bird never flies so high that it can't hit the ground

(smiles) Oh Kristopher, I love the creative feel of this, sweet friend, I love playing chess and it seems the queen is always my winning piece or the opponents piece that beats me! (big hugggsssss) This is delightful, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Kristopher, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Once again, I'm pleased at reading your work. Again, original, impressive, well done. I love it!

The analogy is amausing, but works very nicely. I like that added length on this one, by the way.

Sincerely,
Titus

As I'm out there, walking, searching, for myself, for you.... won't you join me? Let's walk this journey together.

I move, you move
our chase is a dance
both winners we become
each space we advance

one on one upon
this board we spend
a game I hope
will never end

with every move you
it will closer bring
until the day
you become my king
