The Stranger


Sweet stranger.....you knock upon my door.
We chat, then the call......minutes to hours.
You tell me of your joys, your pains and of
your dreams.

We meet.......nervously at first, but
then it's comfortable like an old friend.
You seem to know me.......we are so much alike.

Playfulness.......leads to the kiss.....sweet
and passionate......you draw me in.
I lie beside you.......you hold me close.
You whisper the words I long to hear.

When you part.......how I long for your kiss...
your touch.......you tell me of your love for me.
How you miss my embrace.....the touch of your hand
upon my face.

The days pass by......you call...you need me to
listen to your frustrations of the day.
To be needed........what a thought.

Yearning for you touch, your kiss.....
How you long to feel my kiss wet upon your lips.
Anticipation.....the days can not pass by quickly
enough......my heart races for soon I shall feel
your embrace......to taste you again....sweetness
upon my lips.

Alas my love.......face to face....my arms embrace you.
I see your face........not one that I recognize.
I hear the words, but none that ring of the love you
once sung.

We go through the motions........the conversation as
dry as the wine. The words roll off our tongues as bitter
as the morning frost.
Where is the friend that needed me so? Is this the image
of a voice from long ago? A shell? An outer appearance
of what I once adored?

Again we part........not same as the last....
I feel as you are but a ghost of the past.

You call, but not you........I am but a stranger again.
