Rain

The rain falls rhythmically outside my window,
Thoughts of you dance to the sound,
entering my mind with grace and precision.
The low throaty sound of your laughter,
rising and dipping, filling my ears and heart.
The exact shape of your mouth
as the ends curve up into a half-moon smile,
become my favorite form.
The rain reminds me of you.
The surprising way you grip me.
The down pour of your beauty floods my heart.
I have no choice but to love the rain.
The water is falling harder from the sky,
creating a passion so enduring.
I want to stand in it and be drenched by you,
completely soaked through, to the bone.
Wash over me, renew me with your intensity,
Bring my senses to life.
