Desert Lightning

Clouds stretching above craggy peaks gracefully Mushrooming ever higher with each hour. A vision beguiling across the speckled slate valley, The distant rumbles echo compelling power. Lured towards the storm where my love awaits As I approach, gray-white canopy growing Amplifying charge drawn towards its mate, Breathless need for the deeper knowing. Thunderhead’s navy blue underside deepens The verdant forest below infinitely attractive. Inside, a growing lightning bolt quickens To your approach, I become reactive. Charges arc together as my lips touch yours The golden crescendo, our currents unite. Timeless infinity of the union pure Rattling windows, the thunder’s might. Damp sagebrush scent lilts on the breeze Deep electric blue sky, gone is the weather Sunlight refracts through dripping trees, Current dissipated, hearts nestled together. 3/14/16
