Till death…

Inspired by Anu’s series of poems written recently, I came up with this one.
This is a contribution towards Cafe Writing – December Project.

The idea was to write a fiction, essay or poetry on the following picture (Credit: Carmi Levy of Written, Inc.)

no group of enemies
can keep me tight
i leap the barrier
and kill them in a strike;

i am the mighty knight

in the history of kings
i am the unsung brawn
always a hero
i never frown

strong and brave
put others in their grave
who never turns back?
i am the only one!

i am the selfless pawn

i am ranked
just below the queen
with the strength of a castle
i defend my king

i am the durable rook

i travel miles together
and find my enemies
hidden in black or white
with my twin brother

i am the lightning bishop

agility, courage,
strength, and speed
for the glory of our king we live
we fight till death
forever, we will…
forever, we will…
