Chess and Zelda

Chess vs. Zelda

I took one too many moves in chess
Then fell in love with Zelda
And in the end the games go on
Both king and queen maneuvers mate
To Link us to the past and Zelda’s grasp 
Then swept us up
In a twilight princess dance
Knights come out and castles move
To gentle ocarina tunes 
Of Time….in time
Pawns move up then side to side
Decide on bishops or a queen to kill
Behind Majora’s mask and hour glass
Our wills move on
Beyond the chess board landscape 
Windwaker takes the sails and breath away
And skyward sword advances 
It's only games
And Chess is fine 
But Zelda’s always in my heart and mind
She dances there forever
