They danced together before dancing Their eyes met as they moved to music in someone else's arms Eyes stared, silent anger flared as they took each other into their own arms Bodies touching slightly hands feeling hands Hot breath mingling to the beat of a Latin dance Early hours of the morning Couples go home as the band packs up The woman comes back Clandestinely they jump into a car They drive silently into the night The city streets are empty as their lips merge running wild They devour each other's stories and continue their drive The misty morning finds them tired, excited, guilty for they have strayed in their path Bodies sore and cold after sharing a night in a car As homeless teenagers sharing their first experience of carnal love The wedding band on the floor The windows fogged up The sun has arisen They have to part Each to their own home Their night is the past For two married women can't allow their passion to survive...
