(53) Queen Of Spades

(53) Queen Of Spades

A Poem by Chris Smith Welshpoetcs

Tasting a love that is forbidden,

I surrender to her dark touch.

Knowing that temptation has won.

 

She is called the Queen of spades,

And she is playing with my heart.

I am going to lose the game.

 

I thought I was the one in control,

But I was placed under her spell.

A man can never win against beauty.

 

You play with the cards you are dealt,

A victim where you can never bluff.

When you know the odds are against you.

 

The Queen of spades makes the rules,

Where she will take all you have.

The final price will always be your soul.

 

I am one of many that was her prize,

Because she plays the game too well.

In darkest passion, you can never win.

"She is called the Queen of spades,
And she is playing with my heart."

What a wonderful write, Chris. Reminds me of my "The Card Game" poem. Them spades are something else.. so wicked.. so in need of victory, to be right and to win. I love the flow of this one and the meaning behind it.

I know this person, or someone like her. I too was under that spell but she took advantage one too many times and now I am awake and playing a new game of chess with her instead of a card game that can be rigged to benefit one. I relate to this write so I think it is outstanding.

Great lines....

I read this twice....I think this piece needs to be darker in some areas.

But ' A man can never win against beauty' and ' In darkest passion, you can never win' are some great lines!

another beautifully crafted piece. the dynamic between game playing and relationship is certainly not a new concept, but you make it fresh and interesting here. very well written.
