Love Poem: NIGHT WITH A STRANGER

NIGHT WITH A STRANGER

On a cozy night, at home, house
Walking down a lonely road, without an exact location 
walking towards a specific direction, just for a companion
One of those boys in my streets, to play my new PS5 with
At late midnight, very dark, risky and lonely
Risky? For no one stays late at night in my streets
Lonely? For it's about 11:27AM, to be precise 
On one lovely Saturday night, after a friend's birthday party



Slowly I move step by step, vigilantly I am, as I watch the dark
Watching every hidden corner, as I move slowly but carefully
Without anyone on sight, or any sound of vehicle from afar
Vividly I can see a ray of light, from afar but not too clear
Kept going further without hesitating, with all hope to find one
Slowly and tiredly, I keep going still not hesitating


I came to a corner, which I turned over to another corner
I can see a very bright light, from some distance far
With hope renewed, heading slowly without hesitating
I could see a shadow in, a dark corner close to the light
I stood for some time, while pondering over... Moving or retreating
The light deem, it's my country Nigeria! They don't give full current


While pondering over... Moving further or retreat to safety
The person at the corner, is already walking towards my direction
A tall person, just some inches taller than I, I had no ideal
The complexion for it's kinda dark, with a deem light surfacing
Keeps walking towards, it's a female; I sighted as she comes closer
Yes a brown skin lady surprisingly, as she gets closer... More clearer


Hi! handsome she greeted smiling, as she comes closer; So adorable
Hey, beautiful I replied, as I smiled back... A step forward to shake hands
Courageously she asked, what are you doing out here lonely... This hour of night?? Gently I responded; looking for one of those boys in the streets, my peers. Looking? So we can have some fun tonight, I just bought a new PS5
How about you I asked? My bolt just canceled my ride, she whispered faintly


Please can I pass the night at your place, on one condition I responded?
"She might be thinking about sex, a converse between me and my mind"
Depends on the condition her respond, would you play PS5 with me until dawn? "I've been longing to, all day long and my reason for going back home.
Glad you accepted to let me, pass the night at your; Yes! I love playing PS5
The reason I left my friend's place, even when it's late and risky out here
Disappointed by bolt, my brothers and sisters will wait in vain, she said
