Lovers

by Edmund Siejka



When they embrace
He holds her tightly
Whispering her name.

She breathes deeply
Kissing and kissing him
Again, and again
Her soul lost
In the secret of the night.

Feeling him move inside
They are one
His arms around her waist
Hers on his back
Moving, moving
Always moving
In a lover’s rhythm
Promising
Love.

He leaves
But not before
They share a last kiss.

In the chilly morning
Her bed is damp and empty
Cold, she wraps the blanket around her
The same warm blanket
That captured his being.

Alone she gets up
Her mind busy
With a hundred things
She must do.

Outside
The sun rises
Reminding her
It’s just another day.
