Phred Sirikye Poet Free verse

For One Night, Only

Let’s not even swap names,
just live in the now, with no strings, no stakes.
Hold me close, but loose enough to let go.
Come sunrise, I will be just a whisper in your memory.

Let’s hit the liquor store, tonight.
Two shots, to wash down the memories,
and keep tomorrow a stranger.
No need for histories or questions,
just a walk under reckless skies.

Let’s be trouble we won’t confess,
a secret we will forget come morning.
We are here for one night, only
two strangers hiding in the city lights,
craving the comfort of being unknown.

By dawn, we will be strangers again,
and I will walk away with just your warmth on my skin.
No promises, no pieces left behind,
just one night, only.
