A chess board Piece by piece Pawn to E4 Queen to F6 Checkmate Colours swirl Insects bite my bones Am I safe now? Will it end? Checkmate Dominoes Piece by piece Knock on wood Check the bone pile I won again Hearts yearn Time falls Am I safe now? Yes I won again Periodic table puzzle Piece by piece Elements collide Time ticks Finished Grandfather clock ticks Leaves bustle Ants crawl This time has to end Finished

Checkmate, I won, Finished
She moves fast like a city full of names, things to do, and places to be. No matter how fast she moves, there is always a spot for you. Regardless of where you go, not every woman, not every city, is the same. She highlights her personality, the buildings of her priorities, Her personalities, like dominos uncovered and placed strategically. The way she was raised, the not so pretty parts, Behind the well known parts of her, not necessarily put away. But still, there is a place for you. Whether it's a quiet night in, or an event organized to get to know each other better, the margins of her heart beat for you Between the counties. Although she moves fast, and one day with her varies from the next, she's not afraid to let you know that she's busy. Once she handles all of her business, be ready to catch up on all that missed time. But don't forget she doesn't just find the time to call or text. She shows up. You too are a part of her world

Dominoes On Pizza Look at you, You look so delicious. No one can hear you, You are godless. Oh little pizza, You look so tasty, All I want to do is put you in my mouth! The taste and feeling, Takes me to my higher self! I like to play dominoes on pizza, Adds another dimension of flavor! A nice thick base! With tomato paste! Clothed in cheese! Sporting meaty toppings! I like the taste when it’s fresh outta the oven! Not when it is reheated the very next morning! Oh my sweet little pizza! You bring a rainbow of flavor! I lift you gently up to my face, A quivering lip reveals my excitement. You look like a great appetizer! You shall sedate my endless hunger! At least till the next one. Slice them! Dice them! Eat them! Digest them! I love the taste of a screaming pizza, It brings in a very interesting flavor.

Dominoes On Pizza
I saw them, I sw**r Sometimes they were in line, Sometimes scattered everywhere I saw them around me They were on the ground Leave them alone and They'll never make a sound Touch them the wrong way And if they’re close, they’ll crumble In their downfall In the end, they'll always lose their humble I can’t see the difference Is it just me or they are all the same They’re just clones of each other I can feel their pain I couldn’t tell them apart Without my fingertips They’re all duplicates A species of a looped never-ending clips What if I am just as bare, Another domino I can’t recognise my own reflection So I guess I’ll never know.

Prosopagnosia
All in this together. All in this forever. All have influence. Each choice has continuance. Every person you know: a living domino. Think twice about how you unwittingly allow their pushes to make you bow. And think thrice about who comes leaning on you, for not every pathway is true.

Living Dominoes
Hear the emptiness deep within There are echos of grief and sin All the petals now are finally gone The thorns rip like the words to a song And all that is sacred is bled And it's dead   No one cares   And nothing's said The moments are boulders in your head Avalanching from the lies you said And the winter's warmth is false comfort The winds chide and howl in retort . And all that once was you Has flown South by Southwest Now is unknown And the children laugh and play Oblivious to the pain's display And you wonder of a poem in Blue A distant path you once knew And the tempuous Tides have changed For the once courageous . . . Now deranged

The Lines You Said
*"I had it memorized" he said "from the very first day And nothing could ever take that away" The late night phone calls and sweet off key songs Bring me the lyrics and I'll sing along And you sang "Dear, oh my dear You don't know how much I feel for you My heart oh it's breaking, it's breaking in two I've always felt like this Oh, can't you see The person you're meant to love Honey that's me" Our duet resounds on the pages like so Breaths becoming words-swinging to and fro Your hands brushing mine and dominoes Falling and breaking Landing in a row And you sang "Dear, oh my dear You don't know how much I feel for you My heart oh it's breaking, it's breaking in two I've always felt like this Oh, can't you see The person you're meant to love Honey that's me" The memories pass and the song's in reverse Wondering who could rewrite the verse Oh talking was sweet but it feels even better Oh my dear I rewrote this love letter: Dear, oh my dear I'm sorry that your heart was breaking And there's nothing I could do to resolve the aching I don't feel like you do And my heart was breaking but he found the glue Honey i'm not the one that you're meant to love So breathe in the air and not my perfume Bring a pencil and write your own tune Love even more and love even better Check your grammar and write a love letter*
