Lightning Was the Only Light

It was one of those nights full of thunder that I emerged from my deep slumber into the darkness.
Indeed, lightning was the only light,
It rained and I shivered,
But my wife slept next to me,
She was my refuge,
My fortress from the menacing darkness,
I stopped shivering and I slowly melted into her arms,
And suddenly, all her energy grasped and invaded me and all I knew was her,
Her lips showered me and I let her take me,
We disappeared into each other and felt all of us pervaded by a deep love,
We were born again,
Into all that is timelessness,
Piercing shots of light shot my skin into what was morning,
I emerged from the slumber into the light.
