Rain

You were angry at me
the night it rained
and I chased you
through the field behind
the house
not to catch you
but to contain you.

I dodged your barbed words
and thunder drowned out
the bitterness in your voice
it wasn't until a break
in the weather that you heard me
say I love you.

You fell into my arms
rain-soaked,smelling ot
the elements
wet grass a more pungent
aphrodisiac than your perfume
and my lips on your
drenched skin roused
a hurricane, your cold front
hitting my warm
and we spun, dizzy, into
a fast, fumbled communion
that resolved nothing
but was a respite
the eye of the storm.
