Stand Your Ground #37

A Buried Past 37

Stand your Ground

black against white

white against black

a blessed move

white first

squares divided in color

chess pieces

main attraction to overthrow the king's kingdom

the queen

a formidable force to be reckoned

for her skills at multitasking

the twin castle towers

knights of the round table

bishops diagonally reconstructing faith

pawns to reach ultimate change

swooped for better use

playing chess

playing mind games

plotting upon the anticipations of the opponent's move

strengthening the different combinations of movements

working together as a team

diminishing the effects of a normal combination

white\black

dark\light

tall\short

big\small

style\cliché

friends\foes

a story tale:

I met a guy who had two friends

one is married

one is not

a monologue:

as big as you were

you challenged me

you single

friend

as small as I am I wasn't looking for a fight

you stared at my soul

to stress reading

now you wonder of I still know what you did last summer

you wonder your thoughts aloud

reading your thoughts

check mate

good thoughts, bad thoughts

many thoughts to read

many thoughts to jot down

you don't even know what you sound like

I am not picking a fight

or gloating upon my success

I am merely painting a great possibility for interest sake

because I have the courage to clean my stuff

unfortunately I found you using the windows that remain alert

thinking that I am a threat to the clan

three is a crowd

so I backed down

admitted defeat

it was not worth it

stand your ground

I am not your only victim

but I vowed to be your last

you keep your buddy beside you

as if the secret binds your friendship

denying him access to love freely

guarding the bond you share

& you call yourself a friend

with no love in your heart

just emptiness

a never-ending storyteller

spiritual strategies

spiritual terms

spiritual warfares

patiently planning the plotting

lingering in my issues

with an unclear purpose

reading the thoughts that attract you

attract the thoughts that you have sealed behind the moving thoughts

a nosy neighbor

a nosy husband trying to adjust to the smell from next door

caught in a dream net

analyzing spiritual combinations

that cause a spiritual bond

collected thoughts, collected motives

underestimate not the forces of rituals

the reality of your inquisitive minds

spiritual politic

based on a spiritual belief

marked by culture

marked by history

establishing a prayer network

setting up boundaries

in community of property

stand your ground

perfect your skill with enough imperfections to conclude perfection

explore your avenues

from the one point of departure

stand your ground

expose the greatest part of you

stand your ground

read some more thoughts

the thoughts that count
