Lovers

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.
