Game Of Love - Like Chess Poem by M. Asim Nehal

Game Of Love - Like Chess

Rating: 5.0


Like a chess board
I have certain limitations
I am the King and
She is the Queen
And we are standing face to face
We are in opposite camps
My kingdom doesn't allow me to meet
Nor her kingdom is ever ready
In sixty four year- squares of life
We have umpteen moves to make
To win each other and come closer
My minister is after the opposition's King
And all his moves are directed towards him
To make a win-win situation
My motives are clear, I do not
Want any body's head or crown
What I want is the queen and
She is struggling between her own soldiers
to come out In open to confess her love
my moves are no less flamboyant
to plant my love I wore the playful mask
gliding smoothly in the territory of my
enemy where my love is waiting to
embrace with opened arms
arms are not empty it has ammunitions
she killed me with quiver eyes
years back when we met first time
In the darkness of night
We met again and killed each other to
End the game of love.

(1) I am not here to contradict, but only to read and enjoy, but since I myself play chess, I have to say, unfortunately, that chess is a game of winning-conquering-conquering other people's territories / recapturing through very well thought-out tactics, and unfortunately I can not find anything of love in the chess play I usually play. BUT, if you mean from your view that by conquering that one kingdom you also imprison the

If the game of love ends still love shines in core of memory. King and queen unite through a chess card. An amazing poem is very brilliantly penned.10

(2) ...queen and also her husband the king, then there will certainly be a coming love's perils. Apart from these things, is this poem excellently thought and created, since the topic is love. And I also enjoyed reading time and again this poetry about my most favourite game: Chess. It is a game of gaining territorium and not a love game, my dear Poet. A game about conquering the enemy's land. But I have truly enjoyed your poem, since I love the chess play.

Cont 3.... I assumed it as a game of chess where king falls in love with the queen of opposition's/ different kingdom. Imagine such situation where everybody else is fighting to win over each other by killing these two silent lovers are making their moves to get united. And unlike the game of chess where all are fighting tooth and nails to win. A game of Love is played within the chess board limitation. I hope now you will read and appreciate.

Cont....2 You must have also seen in present times the love between two belonging to different sects, caste, creed, religion and social status and the same is opposed by their parents, society etc...This very thought inspired me to write this poem with a philosophical and imaginative touch...Cont 3
