The Strangers Date Poem by Rose Kanana

The Strangers Date

Rating: 5.0


The day finally came
she sat at a strategic point
He too sat strategically
their eyes met and locked
and they knew they were each others date

two hours seemed like two seconds
the vibe seemed casual on culture diversity
he escorted her to the shuttle
and had the final announcement of arrival home
with gratitude for the time two strangers had met

will they see each other again?
are the chats good enough for sustained loyalty?
only time will tell
for only strangers with a common dream can be friends
She waits, He waits, They wait.

Beautiful depiction of love at first sight - a natural mutual affinity, well articulated and nicely brought forth in good diction with conviction. A lovely poem indeed. Thanks for sharing Rose. Please read my poem MANDELA - THE IMMORTAL ICON.
