Onslaught of a Spartan Queen

26 Apr 2006

You are playing chess with my heart Your adroit tactics puts Kasparov to shame Mastery of deceit puts you in the hall of fame You lurch me in with your acerbic tactics Check All I wanted was to be your knight With a buckler and a falchion Ready for a blitz on a set stallion Vitiated by your cunning moves Perturbed by your fearless echelon The snares you've set has nurtured my scorn Check Another smell of defeat stares me in the eye As you swiftly maneuver my way Playing me like a bated pawn You make me bleed with your persistent sword My scattered blood is stained across the board Check Like a coward I'm backing down As I watch your sadistic smile swooping towards the crown Your superior mastery stifles my ways On a Stone engraved castle rests the last of my days CHECKMATE! A moment of terror is shortened by a truce Check again, Queen! You took the bait My revenge is sweet, it’s stalemate!
