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.”
