About This Poem
CHECKMATE IN LOVE
, , , , , , , , , ; ; ; ; ; , , , , , , , ,
``i was down the hole just passing time``
half sober, half sane warming her nape tasting wine,
with moon-soaked spine, she lounged like siren’s swan
russet tresses peeled my bones, i’m checkmate’s pawn
``dark tint on my ride, i gotta 10 in ride, i can hide``
but she is one lady a mortal would battle in bestial tide,
a winter rose of dreams, summer’s Juliet of dancing breeze
spinning epicenter’s stillness down my knocked knees
``so nothing in this whole wide world don't mean a thing``
as mist beautiful in her eyes scared me to try last game’s fling,
should i crumple her inside my black journal’s pages?
and dash into wild woods where other blooms squirt in bunches
oh, Viking gods watched chess pieces tumble my only rook
caressing her scent; i froze as stars on her limbs was all it took
for me to wanna do right for this queen, my rarest one
``been digging so long that i never seen the sun ``
