Stormy

His skin surrounds me

Keeping me warm, and somehow

protecting me from the storm that is us...

His soft flesh like a weathered trenchcoat

But what...or whom is it protecting...or exposing?

Does it keep ourselves in or each other out?

Pounding thunder and breathtaking lightning-

kindled friction melts our entirety

and we lay together in a serene puddle

until the omnipotent sun rises

and we evaporate our own ways....
