I sit on the porch in the noonday sun,
hot as the devil. All the humidity in the world leaving my pores
in a race to see who can leave the biggest puddle.
I feel like I'm a fire, blazing, smoldering...

The only breeze is the one blowing through my mind,
of a girl, thousands of miles away, but I see her standing in front of me.
As beautiful as always, hair to her waist, the prettiest lips I've ever seen.
**** she's gorgeous...

Then the deafening sound of thunder breaks my thoughts, startles me
back to reality. rattling my bones to the core, lightning strikes blinding my vision.
the sky turns grey, darker, darker almost black...

The rain has yet to come,but man is it going to come.
the crack of thunder sends me into a dream, a daydream of sorts
of something I can never have, a heart that belongs to another...

When I open my eyes again I'm wet, not from the rain,
not from the humidity, but from the tears coming down my face in streams.
the sun was shining and It's was hot as hell but... the only storm...

                  Was the one in my mind,

The one we have no control over, the battle deep within our soul
the fight we always lose. the torment and pain we all feel,
when we can't get what we want...

But I see her always, the beautiful smile and inviting translucent eyes.
I need you
      I want you
             I love you...
I can never have you, until I sleep and we live, laugh and love

                   See you in my dreams sweetheart...
