rain

a poem for someone i care about

I've never had a lover as gentle as the water,

Fondling my skin with its every movement.

It folds around me, and holds me.

Its waves lap at every line, every fold, every dip of my body

like soft flicks of your tongue.

Raindrops roll down each curve, drip from my hair,

Streak down my cheek in a loving caress.

I ache for you.



I imagine you to be as soft and gentle as the rain

Your fingers running down my body

like the raindrops etching a map to my soul.

Your lips and your tongue tasting every inch.

Your eyes meet mine, and you lift a hand

Not to hurt me, but to stroke my cheek

Just like the rain.

My heart soars, and in that instant I know...

I am yours.
