Gambit
Can I say, I love you ? Will you permit? Or you can do just one act of love to caution; you might be a gambit. (17.03.2025)...

Queen's gambit
Starting with the book move, Hii, it's pawn to e-four. Don't act like strangers, You've seen this move before. Now my knights came into play, It's surely an awkward move. You won't understand my intentions, And it might hurt you out of blue. Now I'm cluttered in this position, And there's no trick under my hat. But I'm a true and loyal player, You better believe...

If we sacrifice, that what we possess, allusion being to ego we know, this gambit pays off, for as we undress and conditioned beliefs slowly let go, released from erst fears, we begin to flow. Thought fetters that bound and twirled us around, viewed with nonchalance, no longer astound, since having vaporised and merged with space, we are from head to toe, in...

Patterns In Life
Go through chores as, like a machine the sunrise, sundown, the rains, and snow the countryside pass by a train window but can't drink the green valley to the lees along the mountain slope the mist rises swept clean by a light stream from among clouds sea waves thrash the shore and back they go the glacial river water flows down to...

Premium Member The Formidable Gambit
"The Formidable Gambit" Silence calculated and distinct conspiring with rules plays within the confined squares of a strict and ruthless mind preying on all moves untraceable unpredictable irretrievable in the opening move the long-legged fly is caught in the web silvery and slippery life remains in the veins still, never myopic thoughts like darts a sacrifice is quickly made for the sake of a child compensatory advantage smoothly...

Gambit
Bat-blind to looming gripe and cold decay, Clueless shoots jump onto life's gay stage, Oblivious of Grim Fate's scything designs That waste with disease and stealing age. They wouldn't turn around and at once behold Slowly waning sires with mean griefs to scold. Youth's full plate such wanton cheers parades, That no eye can see sly time's thievish shades. Thus enchanted...

Fool's Gambit
The pride and integrity of broken covenants, plans devoid of breath Failure to act in unforeseen events, situations uncontrolled Chasing to correct errors, straying to accept loss Stupidity? Naivete? Ignorance? The agitated mind is dumb as the first bet lost In desperation for redemption, the same motions are forced To pretend and to pose, to chase the wind To seek approval, for...

Spring Gambit
We live through chill weeks Of dreary darkness, Alarmed a livid springtime flash Rends open deep night, Palpitating startled hearts— Feet spring from bed, toes grasp: Slippers, slippers; Bemused eyes at last lunge, Leap through wet glass, Past fogged panes quaking, Reflexive to turmoil, A stark panorama Of tatted rain Hurled by vehement wind, Lank, hunch-necked streetlamp Quivering in its duty To sow gold treasure Across drenched pavement And green-budded boughs, Nascent foliage thrashing, Limbs...
