Thunder Roars All Around Us
thunder roars all around us
rain has pillaged the Earth in petrichor
trees bend in the wind
and retrieve their stature
only to succumb to yet another burst
two pluviophile's sitting on the balcony
our conversations are mostly absent
from these words
you have taught me the gentle conversation
no need to dig into some dictionary
when love's simplicity beckons
yet she is a sponge
in the language i command
such a lady you are to me
says, what does that mean
i love it when you are a child in hand
i am called to duty
you never bring me to impatience
patience has awarded me beyond my dreams
the jewels i give you dance in your eyes
i just wish, but i cannot go there
the world would only intrude
it is the crown of thorns
my heart silently bears
your air of innocence is something i guard
a wolf leaps from your shadow
with deadly intent
aimed at the throat of any violator
the fate of a pluviophile
lost in the petrichor and you
God must hold a special pity
for me to be so graced
and i have learned from all of this
it is in the aiding of healing
we discover each other
the river's course remains unchained and free
love should be rampant lava
consuming all in its path
a pyroclastic flow that sweeps
two hearts into one
rain praters on while the wind
tosses badinage amok
as the lightning parries above
we retire for a nap in each other's arms
where the wolf in your shadow
is at rest
paradise enow
