An imminent storm;

Conceals…
Sweet enticements
… of a setting sun.

I stand alone;
… along the boardwalk;

I wait…
For your return.

Bellowing clouds
Roll towards the shore.

The alluring sea;

My heart
Begins to pound.

I look out.

Approaching rain
Fills me with…
Memories.

Rolling sounds
Thunder draws near.

Beyond…
A heart beckons.

Beyond…
This… precipice;
There... is you.

Anticipation.

Cold rain
… fills the air.

The boardwalk…
A stage of dancing tears;

My eyes close.

I smile;

The sensation…;
Your touch!

My flesh tingles…

I tremble…

I hear...
Choppy waves lapping
... along the shore.

My mind drifts;
Rudderless.

Casting waters…
Accelerate; My very heart.

My heart sees…
Salty foam
Thrashing…
against the jetty.

Sounds of thunder
Pulsates... though the air;

Through me!

A bird; Sings.

And,…
I’m alone.

I am;
Alone.

Waiting…
