Strangers in the night
Exchanging glances
Yours touched tender
Mine reluctant to take chances

Strangers in the night
Our skin brushing
Hands clasping
Heartbeats rushing

Strangers in the night
Are we onto something?
Catch your eyes held onto mine
Pretend its nothing

Strangers in the night
Our places shifting
Positions changing, Postures telling,
Spines arching, Voices lifting

Strangers in a strange place
Your wanting reached me
Through ice and self-consciousness
Gasps entreating

Strangers seeking comfort
Our cold bodies merging
In spite of reservations
Relief - for a moment - surging

Strangers in the night
Under moonlight shine
Meeting again for a moment
Partners in time.
