It’s just you and I and moonlight

Filtering through the lens of clouds

Not where I thought I would be tonight

Under the starless sky, the silence loud

With promises, electricity crackling

Between your skin and mine as it flares

Between the ground and sky, lightning

Brilliant in the dark, illuminating our stares

The intensity of our gaze, our need

Palpable as the first fat drops of rain fall

And we are laughing, drunk on passion like mead

Honey-sweet and intoxicating, holding us in thrall

To our baser instincts, we move together

Closer, closer, our skin beaded with droplets

Our clothing soaked to our skin, this weather

Cannot quench our passion, and I say “Let’s

Dance together in this rain and for a moment we’ll forget

Everything but each other; brighter days will happen yet.”
