Rain

I stand-alone
As it rains
The drops on my skin,
Remind me of your teasing touch
Drip by drop
The chilling breeze gives way to
Goosebumps
I want the rain
To hold you
To feel it touch my skin
I see a silhouette of a tree in the bright night sky
Then the lightning gives and takes
Your face
The stars are what the sky is missing
And you to me are gone
A bluish gray sky
A light in the distance
Calls to me
The reflection of that streetlight makes a puddle glow
Do you remember what you did for me?
I sink into the slight depressions of Earth
As the collected rainwater absorbs my bare skin
I shiver
And my body shakes with ecstasy
The rain teases my skin
Slowly at first
But as the wind picks up the rain follows by example
Faster now, I feel the droplets grow
They become heavy, hard
The leaves rustle with the passing wind
And you are here
But my hair covers my eyes
And I am lost again
I know nothing but the rain
And want nothing else
The cool moist droplets caress my skin
Outstretched arms welcome this love
I want more
I need to feel you
I need it to take me over
Drown me with your love!
But there's not enough
It's never enough
The drops kiss my neck as I look back at the sky
I remember you
My eyelids rest
Eyes closed and I see yours looking at me
When summer comes, you'll leave again
I open my mouth and scream
Scream for more
But you are already gone
