Strangers

By asailorsangel

They spent the night with strangers
Locks shattered and walls crumbled
With the force of the unguarded emotion

Only the shadows watched as they
Seductively removed each others
Masks

They slowly gently flowed through
The cavern of dimmed light a dance
Of lovers to unfold

The silenced whispered in amazement
The dark stood in awe of how time
Stopped for this man and this woman

There they stood bare-naked
Strangers in the night that
Met in the space between

Now left with more questions
Than answers in a world
That had no walls.

    This had sparks of talent dancing on each line. Off to read your other works.

  • A former member wrote: Very thought provoking work. I like the way this was written and how the reading was left dangling. Very beautiful and well written. ~Urban Shipwreck~

  • A former member wrote: This reminds me of the movie Eyes Wide Shut, even though I have not seen it. But what I have seen, clicks in my head like this. Erotic in its own right.
