Stalemate

Stalemate

 

Hypocrisy and disaster

Slither underlining through the board,

Gather spikes with their spawn

And remain concealed to the pieces above.

 

Yet those figures who live caught up in light,

Who lay hidden under a blanket of lies;

That safety of ignorance,

Glide further away from common sight.

 

These characters eyes lock once,

Impacting each with a different stance,

And the years withdrawn commence.

 

One moves forward

One moves back

One moves right

One moves left

One moves bent

One moves straight.

 

Yet when finally they collide.

Nothing occurs,

But confusion begins to creep inside.

 

One moves forward

One moves back

One moves right

One moves left

One moves bent

One moves straight.

 

Finally I push forward,

But you pull back......

Till we hit that grey area,

Stalemate.

That ever consuming abyss,

Which disbanded said fight,

But made way for another era,

Another learnt chapter in life.

 

The futility of us.

I really, really like this. The word choice, the imagery, the last part... "the futility of us" hits home. Do you have more poetry on here?
