Notes About The Poem

Love is a game

Chess is a game of wit and grace;
Takes several moves to advance while protecting your space.
As you know, it's a game for two so you'll need to open up;
It's all in the gameplan, the timing and the setup.
The challenge pays off when you meet face-to-face.

Was just check mated. Divorced now. Is adamant that God told her to do it. Somewhat manic and I have to reset my plans for the future. Kind wishes, Kai
