Thirst

The beginning of spring brings
damp, cold air and
rain
night descends
as the rain continues to pour
pounding against my bedroom window

I toss and turn
tangled in the sheets
thoughts of you
pulse through my aching soul
as I recall my day
which would have been
more pleasant shared with you

thunder roars through the night
the rain continues to pound
my pulse keeping time
with the cadence of the rain
as my thoughts return to you

I long to be on the other side
of my window pane
now that I've been reminded
all night  long
just how thirsty I am.
