A Strange Romance Poem by Anita Atina

We knew what we wanted, when we first met

Our hungry eyes revealed, all secrets quietly kept

As we kissed we knew, that finally we’ve snared a catch

And rarely do we meet another, who plays equally matched



Proud and independent we were, dueling to score a point

Our passions grew till every layer and mask, stood naked, to a side

And finally we stood facing each other, man and woman, in the light

Sated and triumphant, both lost in a trance

For we had touched life itself, in our energetic grasp



We knew this was just the beginning, of a strange romance

For we kissed like teenagers, in the first blush of chance

But since we’re older and pretend we’re wiser, we’ve built walls around our hearts

Both of us know, our secret desire, is to explore this strange mystery


Will it take us to a bittersweet end or mark a new beginning,

Only time can tell if this strange story, has love revealed in the end.
