alike

The pieces are there to seize the moment.
Ready for the shuffle of play.
It's the battlefield makin extractin grounds.
Set to seek more than a stale mate.
From edge to edge of strategy.
Infiltratin with moves alike.
Toyin with a mind to win.
Back n forth n side to side.
Time consumin touchin figures.
Finger dancin closin space.
Tryin an others defense.
Takin prisoners for keeps sake.
Holdin on to the power at hand.
Expendable to the natural cause.
One by one losin a troops.
Findin a weakness within flaws.
On the attack upon the plain.
Front line lingerin into the fight.
Engaged to protect as pawns do.
Diminishin slowly before the eyes.
Ridin on the hearts stallion.
Creepin up from around the bend.
Openin lanes in a diagonal view.
Every move is a shift to defend.
Straight up contact to ensure defeat.
Armies never hesitant to become men.
As Queens stands for their Kings.
Til the bitter end goin all in.
Maneuverin for positions benefit.
Slidin into place to claim the right.
A game that puzzles thoughts.
Attendin to the line of sight.
Believin in actions taken are real.
Interactin with the offensive threat.
Slippin only in reverse with a mission.
Livin up to the vow to never regret.
Not once to lay down.
Yet set everything upon the table.
World's collide in the mix.
The resistance in rows are willin n able.
Tested to show the mind at work.
Fallen foes n friends alike.
To win is to own what's earned.
Losin those standin with honor n pride.
