We stand at opposite ends.
You; tall and
grim and silent
~~~~~~dressed in
ebony.
Black like death are your
words;
pounding in my ears.
Wave after
wave of lies
~~~~~~colored
black.
I,petite and frail and
loving
~~~~~~~dressed in marble.
White,
like light, is my love;
given blindly to
YOU.
Shiny, dazzling, heartfelt
love
~~~~~~~colored white!
Our feet are
set upon the tiles.
The floor a giant
chess board.
We face each other
and I
say to you;
in a voice so very
tiny,
"Checkmate. You LOSE!"
