Pawn Poems - Poems about Pawn

In a café’s hush, two lovers as pawns, at dawn’s closed gate before it dawns. They clutch a paper, creased and thin, their vows on trial for breathing sin. The soldiers come with boots of dust, their eyes demand, “Obey or trust?” A ring means little, papers less, they weigh our love in bitterness. Her scarf is blue; she pins it tight, a hidden...

Life feels like a giant chess game you wake up already in motion making choices you didn’t plan on a board you didn’t build. What kind of piece are you, are you the King central, important, yet unsure needing protection and fearing the next move?

You thought you were playing her like a game of chess, But she saw every move; you were just a pawn. You believed betrayal would go unnoticed, That her silence meant weakness. But silence is...

ANOTHER TIME. FROM THE CRUST At a time when it crows I set up to a lain me at thine bowl Full weight! Full length a naked yoke There you set my piece at thine brow There I grew to thankfully crawl On the night as if sword was drawn In the bid to stay, I learned to call Abba They...

Impatiently I wait, can't you feel my ache? Dragging on, this longing’s a heavy weight. Do you mock me, think me a clown? A jester's jest, just to keep you crowned? Looking down from your throne so high, Leading me on with a teasing sigh. Knowing I'm here, a pawn in your game, Yet still, foolishly, I remain the same, Stuck in place,...

Calling at the midnight hour come my demons and my dreams, each with hope of casting colored skys of their choosing over the vast open regions of this restless mind. The first come crashing in as an army of conquest bringing with them dark clouds of coming events and impending trials, raining cold fear of...

I was cursed with ink intoxicating blank canvases with toxic scribbles, releasing twisted tales of suppressed troubles. I was a forsaken ebony rose in satan's grasp, kneeling on ungodly needs in a gothic fortress of woeful odes, surrounded by black knights and colorless blossoms, searching for legitimate sestinas and versatile villanelles to ignite my quill to bleed without semantic barriers. Swaying like a pendulant, on...

About four plus weeks after frazzling fiasco from friggin fraudsters white knight still mourns swindled money Lynne Costello Senior Civil Investigator (assistant to Philadelphia attorney general) unable to recoup forfeited funds. While holed up in castle keep, (albeit fetchodit fuming father cursing out blimey scamming creep), I replay nightmarish scenario that disallows me to sleep inconsolable tears yours truly doth weep.

We flip the hourglass for time, use moments as each hour's pawn. Then store Today, when past its prime, midst Yesterdays--now finished, gone. If we could make one moment stay just by flipping the hourglass, how to choose the hour, the day so many moments come and pass. Or, as time's measure disappears, will we, in greed, pound on the door of hours, minutes, days,...
