at night

At night
At short notice
On some shadowy side street
As the world goes on without them
Two lonely souls do meet

And untold pangs
Of guilt
Confusion and loneliness
Do melt away in heartbeats
And one long-yearned-for caress

  1. You say so much with so much brevity
    My two favorite lines
    As the world goes on without them
    Two lonely souls do mee

  2. I agree with Pia, I really like the "as the world goes on without them" line. I think that it emphasizes how small they are and yet what a huge moment this is. I really like this poem, it has one of my favorite combinations of sexy and sad.

  3. The world always goes on, no matter what...it makes these moments of stillness even more poignant and vulnerable. Lovely writing...
