For the Love of Rain

The languorous skies weigh in On hazy summer days Unbroken heat waiting for The whispers of rain Sultry nights of too much love Demanding bodies Already molten with lust Find coolness to sleep The moistness of sweat seems dry In rising summer heat Until the first raindrops fall So joyfully wet Fragmented summer evaporates Into autumn shades As September brings the rain Rekindling love’s fire Wet and warm are her kisses Soft and delicious Like the shimmering rainbow Captivating my dreams © JG Farmer 2017 Form: 7 and 5 Quatrains
