One Night Stand

They entered the bar.

He bought a whiskey.

She ordered a wine.

Both came straight from work,

to escape the stress,

they lived every day,

so much to do, so little pay.

Came to lay low,

came to unwind,

One more whiskey

came to mind,

maybe one more glass

of wine.

Nothing to regret,

nothing to forget,

then back to the husband

back to the wife

back to the kids

to an ordinary life.

Before they knew it

their eyes had met.

Now they were in trouble

now they would regret.

Midnight found them

in each others arms

warm embraces, steamy , wet kisses

ragged breathing, fast heart beating,

moaning and groaning all night long.

In the morning no spoken words

back to their lives, back to their lairs,

back to the people who really mattered,

prepared excuses, memorized lies..

One last lingering kiss,

not one demand,

nothing more than a one night stand.
