NIGHT WITH A STRANGER

On a cozy night, at home, house Walking down a lonely road, without an exact location walking towards a specific direction, just for a companion One of those boys in my streets, to play my new PS5 with At late midnight, very dark, risky and lonely Risky? For no one stays late at night in my streets Lonely? For it's about 11:27AM, to be precise On one lovely Saturday night, after a friend's birthday party Slowly I move step by step, vigilantly I am, as I watch the dark Watching every hidden corner, as I move slowly but carefully Without anyone on sight, or any sound of vehicle from afar Vividly I can see a ray of light, from afar but not too clear Kept going further without hesitating, with all hope to find one Slowly and tiredly, I keep going still not hesitating I came to a corner, which I turned over to another corner I can see a very bright light, from some distance far With hope renewed, heading slowly without hesitating I could see a shadow in, a dark corner close to the light I stood for some time, while pondering over... Moving or retreating The light deem, it's my country Nigeria! They don't give full current While pondering over... Moving further or retreat to safety The person at the corner, is already walking towards my direction A tall person, just some inches taller than I, I had no ideal The complexion for it's kinda dark, with a deem light surfacing Keeps walking towards, it's a female; I sighted as she comes closer Yes a brown skin lady surprisingly, as she gets closer... More clearer Hi! handsome she greeted smiling, as she comes closer; So adorable Hey, beautiful I replied, as I smiled back... A step forward to shake hands Courageously she asked, what are you doing out here lonely... This hour of night?? Gently I responded; looking for one of those boys in the streets, my peers. Looking? So we can have some fun tonight, I just bought a new PS5 How about you I asked? My bolt just canceled my ride, she whispered faintly Please can I pass the night at your place, on one condition I responded? "She might be thinking about sex, a converse between me and my mind" Depends on the condition her respond, would you play PS5 with me until dawn? "I've been longing to, all day long and my reason for going back home. Glad you accepted to let me, pass the night at your; Yes! I love playing PS5 The reason I left my friend's place, even when it's late and risky out here Disappointed by bolt, my brothers and sisters will wait in vain, she said

Love is beautiful, oneness is beauty, even in the dark right at the middle of night, fear is an illusion only courageous overcomes. Not matter what the time is, get up and go after what you want. The truth had never denied the seeker. Thanks for reading.
