Late the music played in the smoky air in our noir Bogey and Bacall vignette, and hands that stroked your silky chestnut hair held a red wine and lit a cigarette. Your soft skin smelt of aloes and citrus - the smudge of fresh lipstick on your wineglass, and what covet it was those lips to kiss - in wine there’s love! In vino veritas! Those bitter tannins with your sweet imbue filled my soul and we played our wicked game, and I knew no one could save me but you for you doll are no ordinary dame. If I should echo your whistle I’ll know to just put my lips together and blow! Written: April 2013 For Les Note: Wicked Game is a song by Chris Isaak. It was then and will always be our song. In vino veritas is Latin for “in wine there’s truth”.
