Strangers From Across the Room
Strangers from across the room
in a crowded reception hall,
somehow catch each other's eyes
and in rapture they both fall.
Coquettish smile meets sinister grin,
all other guests becoming a blur;
mystery blends with a touch of intrigue
foreshadowing what might next occur.
Social distractions interfere
and their gaze gets lost in the crowd;
they wander and mingle, pretending to care
but their thoughts are high on a cloud.
Fate plays her kismet card
and they finally meet face to face;
neither one of them utters a word
as they duck into a private place.
Buttons unbutton; zippers unzip;
moaning they try to suppress -
eager to give everything that they have,
carnal knowledge is a success.
Totally exhausted, with smiles on their face,
they slowly reassemble their attire;
one last kiss, with nary a word,
back to the proceedings they retire.
Strangers from across the room,
once again their eyes do meet;
he winks at her; she smiles at him,
and he steps out onto the street.
