Lightning Strikes Electrify a Kiss

Lightning strikes electrify a kiss




                                                       Light
                                                    Streaking
                                                 Across     the 
                                            Black    onyx     sky
                                          Image burned  in hearts
                                      And  vision  etched in  minds
                                   Moon beams brightly in dark night
                                 Splashing bliss  in  star  crossed  eyes
                              Lightning   strikes      electrify    a       kiss
                            Two   souls   ignite,  on  a  night   like       this

Thanks Tom, they are a little restricting with syllable counts but I enjoy a challenge. Thanks again
