Strangers

[edsiejka]

by Edmund Siejka

Loud music
Contagious beat
Eyes meet
Stolen glances
Before long
They walked hand in hand
Along the nighttime streets.

Pausing to adjust her jacket
She took another look
At the stranger next to her.

Once inside her apartment
They lost no time
Falling softly into bed
She crawling forward
Blouse opened
Unable to resist
He pulled off her bra
She was free
He was in heaven
Hands reaching and touching
Discovering one another.

She mumbled something
He didn’t hear
The sounds she made were incredible
Deliciously he held her tightly
Her breathe coming faster and faster
As he moved over her
That in this act
Two complete strangers
As close as they will ever be
So close that one moves inside the other.


Leaving in the morning
He never knew
Who she really was
What she wanted from life
Where she came from
How she looked in the early light
The sound of her laughter
Or the softness of her tears
When something moved her.
