Thunder

You speak to me. In your low rumbling voice, lighting the darkness with the spark of a million fireflies. You call to me, coughing each exclamation like eons of Sirens' songs filled with the ash of a thousand volcanoes. You sing to me. In your sweet cooling breath your ancient desires thrilling me, filling me with my need to explore you. You cry to me, come, you beckon, winking at me with your distant eyes, filled with visions of hope for eternity. You run from me in an instant you are gone, no farewell, no so long, leaving your burning brilliance blinding my sight. You have left me alone in the dark cold and lost and empty awaiting your return, forever waiting.
