Parting Shot

To have guts
You should eliminate the buts
If you'll take the risk
You should not be in a brisk

Compose yourself and meditate
Focus and concentrate
Remove the doubt
Think about your bout

Breathe in, breathe out
Make this your shoutout
And now that you're prepared
Let it be declared:

That this one I say to you
Is the most important thing I will do
I will take this last shot
And I surely will hit the spot

Leaving

Separation...
This might lead to desperation
The distance between us might be great
But there's nothing I cant defeat

Patience...
This will be my penitence
I must be strong
For this wait will be oh so long

Surely the wait will be over
By then we will see each other
But for now, before you go
I just want you to know

That I will melt in your memories
And soon you will forget all our stories
But nevertheless...
The experience was the best of the best

Checkmate

This is a great game
Which could put people to fame
Learned it when I was going to Grade 3
I never knew how it would be

Taught me to think
Even when I am in brink
This made me realize
That it is a bit hard to materialize

Sacrificing the KING for another KING
I would not do such a thing
I would never sacrifice my QUEEN
If and only if, the next move is a win

In using my final pieces
I wish my move connects and never misses
I hope it is not too late
For you to see my move, my checkmate!
