Game of Chess

Poem by Dezarae Shanna Janel

I walk a mile, you walk a minute

Pushing our love past its limit

We could be the King and Queen

If only you just shared my dream

Come alive with my desire

As we walk across the fire

Dying for just one more chance

As I slip into the trance

Sweet illusions of my hope

That I will never come to know

Giving in to time gone by

This is the last time I will try

Loving more and having less

Love is just a game of chess

Checkmate now the game is done

And the Queen alone has won
