Wild Thunder*


The lightning
breaks the sultry summer air.
Its components explode
in deafening crescendo
rain falls in heavy vertical stripes
a deluge of waterfalls.

I take off my clothes
and walk in the gardens.
Soaking drenched
and alight with passion.
As alive as the
forces of nature above me.

Beyond wetness
the pure water washes my soul.
Crying for its coolness
in the turgid heat.
of an endless summer
of drought and dust.

My face reaches upwards
to the storm gods.
My mouth opens wide
to swallow its bounty.
Cooling my desire
in this maelstrom

I see her calling me to go inside
Come in my Love
Be safe from the
ferocious power of the storm.

But I am young
and powerful like the storm
I feel invincible.
I feel its energy
flowing inside me
like electricity.

My needs build
like the lightning.
Their voltage surging
until the air cracks.

I call her
Come to me my lover
join me in the garden
Disrobe your body
Absorb its power
Come lie with me in passion
As I am lightning.
And You are thunder.
