The Stormy Lunes

First a trickle

Then the rain picks up

The drops dance

–

In the wind

With the clouds gradually darkening

Low guttural rumble

–

Distant at first

The storm isn’t here yet

But it’s close

–

I feel it

With all its potential energy

Thunder’s closer now.

–

Heavy rain now

Shrouded world in water’s fog

Hard to see.

–

A bright flash

And deafening crack of thunder

It had arrived

–

All rain gutters

Pour like mad with rainwater

The street floods

–

Small bits of

Everything wash down the avenue

As they meet

–

Their final destination

Down the deep storm drain

To the ocean

–

Wind whips violently

Tree branches snap, falling everywhere

Creating ground forests

–

The rain subsides

The winds die down gradually

The thunder quiets

–

Far brighter sky

Just as the sun reappears

The waters recede

–

I venture out

To clear the broken branches

Into a barrel

–

Clear sky now

Butterflies and birds fly by

Enjoying the warmth…

Tempest Tryst ☔️💃🕺☔️

Dancing together like a single form.

Keeps emotions infinitely warm.

–

Thunder provides a steady beat.

To the rainy overture as dancers meet.

–

A flash of lightning brightens in light.

Providing a strobe for the duet tonight.

–

Dipping a partner in the growing breeze.

Winds wisp violently among the trees.

–

Hold each other in the potent deluge.

The soft inviting arms, a temporary refuge.

–

Kissing deeply in endless sheets of rain.

Serious doubts that either will complain.

–

Soft lips quenched drenched in moist dew.

Quickly stealing an embrace or two.

–

In an increasing maelstrom they twirl around.

Until resting together on dampened ground.

–

Passions increased, no care that it’s wet.

Seeing how much closer they can get.

–

Very dank clothes will get in the way.

Quickly removed as the dancers play.

–

Caressing hair, gently touching faces.

Warms insides, near, and faraway places.

–

Soaked to the bone, the puddles run deep.

Saturate two bodies in intimacy’s keep.

The end of the dance they dress in the rain.

–

Sweet and tender skin almost too much.

Goosebumps appear where their lips touch.

–

Their own fury matches that of the storm.

Now a dance on ground, again single form.

–

In water-logged clothes, none can complain.

–

Last a retreat: dry clothes, cottage, and fire.

A bed warm blanket, the dancers retire.
