It Happened On a Rainy Night- Multi-Collaboration

Foggy mists engulfed the bright 
When raindrops fell throughout the night 
The lampposts glowed at midnights dark, 
When sweethearts kissed at Lover's Park 

Soaked wet through with glistening skin 
Revealing all true love within 
Drenched and over awed by charms 
Entranced as held in each other's arms 

The fluid rhythms, realm of rain 
Where lamplights stream did gild the lane 
Wet leaves dripped dreams from tinseled trees 
And pulses flowed like rolling seas 

The sultry spark of lover's kiss 
Roused the feeling of lukewarm bliss 
The tender touch of misty blow 
Caused the heated hearts to glow 

They sizzled and sparked like firework display 
The world around them faded away 
Transported to another place 
Locked inside their warm embrace 

Together they braved the soaking rains 
For they were lost in lover's lanes 
They could not bear to say goodbyes 
Lost in the storm of lover's eyes 

Passions roused beneath a silent moon 
Hanging onto skies where stars are strewn 
Rhythms of dreams ripe for the taking 
Trembling in the kisses, utterly earthshaking 

"Waves gently lapped the shore nearby 
As we embraced, my love and I 
My fingers touched my sweethearts hair 
It felt like silk, so soft and fair" 

Twas the splendour of their sweet kiss 
That led to years of intense bliss 
Gentle rainfall a lamppost glow 
Enhanced the stellar, long ago

Although the rain then turned to hail, 
They kissed until the moon was pale; 
And he was found by mornings light, 
alone, all drained of blood and white

Hey Charles this really deserves more attention than it's getting. Would have made an awesome potd. Always nice to see poets working together instead of against one another. Jack has a bit of Poe in him I see
