Two Strangers In An Elevator

Two strangers in an elevator
Never established eye contact
The man spies on the woman's thighs
While the woman gently fascinates on the man's eyes
In both of their minds,
They see a bedroom
Where each other's bodies
They consume
A touch and a kiss
Lead to physical bliss
Where arms and legs intertwined
She loves it sideways
And from behind
A frenzy of sweat
Without regret
They still have not met
Each other's parents yet
Lick on a clitoris
And a penis to kiss
An unknown moment of sexual bliss
Though they did not know each other's name
They both came
Suddenly, a bell rang
And opened the elevator doors
For a business man and woman
Not for lust hungry whores
They walked into the lobby
Finished with their day
Made eye contact
Smiled
And walked their separate ways
In reality,
They will never be lovers
Nor will they be friends
Never knowing each other's thoughts
They may never see each other again
