A Promise In the Rain

And now they’re in the eye of recognition
A promise of new love 
The two wrapped in a the act of transition

Is it grand remembrance, perhaps when your love was the young? 
The passing of the hands the eyes, the tongue
 
A state of expedition telling all there story
All eyes rise in excitement, embarrassment, or anticipatory?
 
Of what may come next 
Some look perplexed
 
As the skies split the earth with precipitation 
Young lovers kiss without hesitation
 
In a fanatic hold 
While the rain molds them
