Checkmate

a tragic dispute

on a checkered plane

as a transient opponent 

lands across the terrain

 

refrain...

 

from your offense

I'm skilled my friend 

insane turbulation

will lead to your end

 

defend...

 

an inexorable

pursuit

that challenges duty

to a moral institute

 

resolute...

 

the verdict

decreases the magistrate

extricating an army

conceiving your fate

 

insinuate...

 

merciless regicide

burning defenses 

with pretenses

and nowhere to hide

 

confide...

 

within you

a secret indulgence

your cadaverous widow

receives little condolence

 

relentless...

 

should not be

an option here

for contrasting insipid

illusions of fear

 

as the Queen draws near...

A good poem with a good moral lesson....Splendid...:)

I like it.
The chess table is a good ambient, to illustrate great skills and strategy :). The menacing character, of this is so very kool.
