Sweet Nothings

By Lahari Shetty

He whispers sweet nothings into her ear

Their bodies still locked in a lovers' embrace

She stirs and opens her eyes from slumber

He pushes strands of hair away from her face

They make mad passionate love to each other

The kind where one forgets the world outside

Where two souls come alive and burn with desire

Where invisible sparks fly as two bodies collide

Their energies spent, they lie on their backs

Giggling and laughing as children would

Wondering at fate that brought them together

Feeling an ecstasy, that only the infatuated could

As if from a distance, they hear a car pull over

They snap out of their reverie, stunned and shakin'

He scrambles out, heading for the back door

To make good his escape, lest the husband walks in....
