Rain pouring

in the desert

makes me

so lustful

for Life.

And it has been

cascading down

for hours

Thunder roaring

Lightening crackling

My spine a-shiver

I want to be

under the covers,

next to you

skin on skin

hear you breathing

in and out

rising toward me

with each kiss

I want

my head upon

your chest

to feel the pound

of your heart

as it reverberates

into mine

I want the overflow

of your love

wrapped around me

like a vine

an efflux

of emotion

that sends ripples

right through me all of

my pores

filled up and tingling

with the outpour

like a river

unstoppable

I am ready for it

for that force

of nature

as I rise up

to meet you,

my ebb,

your flow

under the

moon

and its

rapturous

Glow
