Your clever gamesmanship and subtle indifference <br />coyly shrouded in verbal gymnastics <br />cuts me deeper than the knife your tongue <br />wields like a ginzu wizard in an infomercial <br />Yet, I can't make the final move, not now <br />the finish would shatter the last dream <br />the last hope of winning what never was <br /> <br />So take your sweet time and just enjoy the game <br />Your strategy is coldly enticing, but predictable <br />I will play along, ever wittingly and always by your rules <br />till you decide playtime is all over now <br />look deep into my eyes, say 'you lose' <br />then close the board and take home all the pieces <br />of your game, my spirit, our love and just go <br /> <br /> <br />NM 2009<br /><br />Nicky McNeil<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/ginzu-gymnastics/
