The game

syllables splashing on silver counter tops
looks exchanged over ingnited incense
license to lean, license to caress
boundaries set only to be breached
the oldest game on earth

whisperings over small nothings
presenting a space both private and personal
creating the aura of a mystery
the idea of a fragile bubble to be treasured
the oldest game on earth

So how many times have you played it?
I still fall for it everytime,
The oldest most enchanting game on earth.....
