Strangers In The Night

By: Fee

Have you ever been enraptured by a total stranger’s eyes

Perhaps in a bustling airport somewhere in the night

Has a simple smile stirred a long forgotten yearning?

A heat that you try to ignore but know you cannot fight

Have you ever sat down with a this kindred stranger

Shared buried thoughts you wouldn’t even tell a friend

Wondered as you sipped the drinks you’re sharing

Where your longing is really going to come to an end

Have you ever held a stranger in your craving arms?

When the loneliness of the dawning hours you fear

Felt like time has taken up and taken a vacation and

Left you free to love the one who’s at that moment near

Have you smelled the scent of perfume tinged with passion?

Sighed contented at intimacy first thing in morning light

Ran trembling fingers down an angel’s sleeping face

Marvelled at the magic wonder you captured in the night

Have you ever said goodbye to a name you couldn’t keep

Like a rose tucked in a book, a folded memory in your mind

The night two perfect strangers met to share some magic

In a world where that kind of magic is so hard to find…
