clash of egos, differences of perspectives stalls fluidity. a partnership dissolves ideas once a mountain stream flowing seamlessly, now a trickle; static electricity. synergy, at rest; in a state of stagnation. they've assumed the position of chess pieces from which no further move. is possible....

"Stalemate" Words mean nothing to me when the sky is sucked out from the lungs of people dying daily where do I put my love when cities are dying lucid writing disappears vacant, lost, dead war orphans stolen children the beautiful innocence torn to pieces, parents buried bloody Stalemate tear stained souls stand up fierce ghosts arms holding guns praying their beautiful poems glory like a river runs all...

~~A chess match is an opaque mirror into societal clash slippery rules and taboos playing upon a checkered past balcony kings and queens glaring down on the lower caste. Ramparts buttressing crooked flanks, serfs in the murky front devouring dirt, taking the brunt of many skirmishes to come. Senators riding sky horses, gliding so high above the fight neighing nonsense -fanning...

We became blind to His love for us Failing to honor Him in our worship His choices now offend us And our offerings now offend Him Our hearts refuse to take Him in So, we go through the motions For the appearance of respectability We are hypocrites Asking Him for His blessing While dishonoring His name We have turned back from following Him Our speech becomes...

Stalemate
Two sat at a table where the board lay Gears turning, pondering a play. Simple conversation was being made; Talking and talking, but few thoughts were said. They exchanged many a move, Probing at the other’s mind. Very little sufficed to reveal their intent — However, the ever-cautious pair, riddled with doubt Felt petrified of decision without Some explicit, Some undeniable, Some...

The early days were bubbles When days passed in moments And the air between us Never escaped. Soon after something died As if it was all normal Like you blow off the candles After a romantic dinner. When silence became the norm We didn't ask why, There wasn't a breaking storm, Not even a feisty sky. Then, One day she was gone. We still love each other Strange...

We stand not five metres apart The light flickers, then stops, then starts! We stand assessing how this ends? Heart beat thuds, pulse quickens For a moment we see past the hate For a moment this is more than a stalemate! Enemies are supposed to fight But through the eyes of the people we are we see tonight Not soldiers, not killers, not...

The Stalemate
Across the board are my bishops and pawns opening a battling door! And my castles corner your kings well-planned out bonjour. Holding sturdy ground, my queen gets caught in between your most brilliant liaisons. Strategically bound expected as unexpected shifts balance bronze colored hoards Consuming thoughts accumulate energized by an extreme only a knight can mount. Barred minds challenge abilities...

A Stalemate Epiphany
Imagine imagine The forest clandestine, The waterfall, sinless and grand. Alone in the stillness, A heart-halting illness, Beleaguers you, seizing command. Affairs of the vengeful, So darkly and dirgeful, So beautifully stated with lust. With fate you are weighted, With passion created, But constantly lacking in trust. Discordant and jarring, Emotions are barring, The musical mystics are spry. In heaven artistic, In hell optimistic, On earth realistic, they die....
