The Game of Love
she’s new at playing the game
so doesn’t know the fancy moves
or any of the intricacies
of a Machiavellian strategist
but still she relishes in the wait
in the suspense as well as in the action
inventing scenes and scenarios
setting the stage
scheming and imagining
throwing his way creative challenges
submitting him to obstacles
to see if he would measure up
it’s a subtle yet ferocious sport
full of subtle disguises
strings and guiles
every square inch worth the gamble
