Storm
dark clouds roiling overhead
my skin shivers
anticipation dancing along my nerves
waiting for that first trickle
the wind tearing at my clothes
a playful lover who would snatch them away
caressing softly against my skin
sliding into the spaces covered from view
roughening as the life of the storm climbs higher
pushing and pulling me into the climactic spin of elements
losing control
lightning flashes
sends thunder raging to my ears
air taking on a heavy electric feel
close my eyes
spread my arms
throw my head back
and catch the first falling drops against my eyelids
let them run into my lips
parted in hunger
to release myself to the storm
it pours over me
splashing into puddles
and relieves the heat
and my soul
sets me free
even as the rain writhes over my skin
and ties me there
