Lovers and strangers
…One in the same
You think you know the person
But in reality; know only the game
Time passes before you
Intimate moments are shared
Every part of you explored
Not an inch of body is spared
Yet there are always secrets hidden
Moments… never to be known
Pieces of life not meant to be shared
Memories… better left alone
Mistakes in the life before you
Agendas within the present day
Hopefully you are the “new beginning”
And the agenda is for love; not play
For a lover can be a stranger
Can have you fooled by words and touch
Though prayers may seem to have been answered
Time; will be the indicator… of trust
Strangers will lie down beside you
Speak to you of hopes and dreams
Caress your mind, caress your body
Convince you they are all that they seem
Take time…beware of the stranger
Let the lover own your heart; only with time
Don’t rush…love will linger and blossom
If this is the love…you were meant to find
For the stranger may turn into the lover
For love …has a plan of its own
It overtakes, it conquers, and it envelops us
Be it by stranger, lover, or unknown.
