Chess

For visually challenged writers, the image shows a red and blue chessboard with gigantic chess peices on it.

Love is not a game of chess

The queen doesn’t sacrifice herself for the king

It’s taking turns and seeing what it brings

Every move has a purpose more or less

Love is two-way and hopefully no stress

When the sky is blue and the birds sing

Love is not a game of chess

The queen doesn’t sacrifice herself for the king

When it doesn’t work, there shouldn’t be regrets

Should have some great moves that give it zing

Love is every season, from winter to spring

And when it works, we say we’re bless

Love is not a game of chess*
