"The Formidable Gambit"



Silence 
calculated and distinct

conspiring with rules
plays within the 
confined squares

of a strict and
ruthless mind
preying on all moves

untraceable 
unpredictable 
irretrievable 

in the opening move
the long-legged fly
is caught in the web

silvery and slippery 
life remains in the veins 
still, never myopic

thoughts like darts 
a sacrifice...

Often, I fall to the ground in anguish and burst into tears,
not for lack of strength, but to ask for forgiveness;
seldom, I venture down a narrow and unlit road,
fearing the assailant is waiting for my innocent blood! 

I call upon the Lord of infinite kindness...

On this vessel for far too long.          
But as captain, I can't jump ship.      
The land taunts, to me you belong.  
Why did you agree to this trip.           

On board for just over a year.       ...

There once was a fellow named Jack
Always tried to be a leader of the pack
Then one day it dawned
Three clones I spawned
Now we're all a formidable triumvirate...

So brittle is our finite life's short stretch.
   Demurely, we spend out our early years.
Immutable at first, we're glad to sketch
   each interlude of life without deep fears.
Our time seems limitless to spend away;
   end of each night presents...

Formidable floundering frisky fish followed furiously, 
Flogging fourteen flustered freshman froggies
Furious followers filed fine-tuning finesse
Frostily furthering fruitless froggy fortitude....

A most wondrous view lies before me,
And to my back; a perilous endeavor 
Nevertheless, let my journey commence and my mind be free 
From this very moment, will arise cunning most clever

Lo, I have but no other choice,
To take a most literal leap of faith...

America is the birthday cake of earth, 
As the ants march from every direction.
Thank God for all who have sworn to defend her, 
Serving with love, honor, pride, and affection.

Since the first day George Washington marched off to war, 
There have been those who have...

an enemy who has stuck with you since the day you met them 
is a commendable one,
for it is they that have stayed constant & strong
when others have come & gone
it is them that have paid attention, read all your work, seen all your films,
observed...

She was a formidable predator; loved the taste of blood.
Did not need anyone cooked or braised; liked meat raw.
There was only one she-monster in the woods, which was fine.
The rest of us stayed out of her way, unsure whether she had eaten....

Evelyn was a gorgeous woman, sweet tempered and fun.
Larry knew that the second he began to date her, three months ago.
She seemed to be everything he wanted except for one small thing.

Thought this as he entered...

formidable to the last

is funny when you think 
you are strong 
yet life temptation 
proves you are weak 

only the willing
move when they decide

cos actions
determine the value
of spoken words

so my tribute to 
the late brave 
will always be a
gratitude forever

they are the God 
of every...

He was a formidable knight, young Crusader Jim.
The ladies of the kingdom were afraid of him
When summoned to his lair, they were slow to go.
Afraid they would not return for he was a show.

The other knights of the castle had tried to befriend him
But he...
