Seduction of Rain

A rhythmic tapping on the roof- sets my heart to pound 
Wet streaming down each pane of glass
Takes me back to you 

Through my window comes a breeze
It stirs a need inside

My skin alive and yearning 
to be warmed by all of you.  
The caress of your breath, against my ear
The sounds you use to make
Memories take me there
And drive my strength to break. 

Such a void, an ache of emptiness 
Desire far bigger than me

The breath I miss, can't catch it now
Drowning in the need

The aching, yearning pulsing 
Not to be contained.
I  touch,
It flows in sweet release
Just me alone to let it go.
