This love for you is elemental

I feel you crackling in the sky tonight
There's no need to shout— your words are louder than mine
We're tethered, not by bolts, or voltage, but this lightning's light
Current that hums through concrete where our fields align
With ruthless brilliance, the likes of which my life has never before witnessed
I am the rain that finds you drop by drop
Tracing the map of your skin I'll never stop; this...
It is not soft, it isn't sweet; It's far from passe or even close to sentimental.
Do not flinch, let it soak you to the bone; sometimes love needs to be elemental!
