Chess



A game of Chess
Played inside
Brain taking a side
Heart playing Devils Advocate

A 3 pound organ
Centre of intelligence and interpretation
Cognizant of the two
Makes its move

Size of a fist
Donor of the pure
Patron in nature
Makes its Counter

Distance of a Ruler
Both fight for the Throne
Each in its zone
Both one human own

Thinking and Analyzing
Logical in its Conclusion
Cannot coexist with Emotion
The Hearts Weapon

Protect the King
The name of the Game
Kingsize Ego
Center of the Frame

Sub conscious mind
 Product of thought process
Data mine for the brain
Train of thought
To be trained

Objective to a fault
Heart to halt
Process and Assess
Only faculty
Man on the right side
Of the fence
Ability to think
The Sixth Sense

Think and become
Dream to reality
Magic portion
Always in need
In thought becomes deed

King of Heart
Fall for the
Queen of Thought
Or not

Brain dead
Heart beat
Not beat
Still beating
Fighting death

Follow your heart
Another Magic dart
Wandering mind
Gives the address of
Where the heart resides

Belief and Faith
Hope and Prayer
Heart the Stimuli
Gray matter Sine die

Follow you heart
Take your thought
Feeling flows from Thinking
After removing thoughts
Negative and Stagnating

Brain Pedals
 The heart cycle
Cognitive and Cardiac
Brothers in Arms

Board and its pieces
Black and White
Pieces move
Mirror image
Reflection of thought
Mirrored in the Heart
Feelings of the heart
Expressed in thought

Chess Board
Pieces all aboard
Heart and Brain
On the same side
No opponent present
On the other side
