Urban Lovers

Two bodies bound together The room may be small but their hearts are spacious and full of joy and desire Old disagreements have faded with the dying sunlight hearts beat rapidly lovemaking has soothed the aching pain both of them have known Their eyes misty Their minds delighted by the touch of flesh to flesh What others think matters about as much as the dust on the window Which blocks the view temporarily Before it is brushed away reveling the urban scene to souls who are taking delight in touching each other as they relieve the hurt which mortal life always, always brings
