Making Love In the Rain

Sometimes

I wonder

Do you think of me?

 

I lie

So silently

Tears streaming down slow

 

Never

Have I loved

As strongly as now

 

I always forget I'm better at hiding than I realise

I expect people to see right through me,

I'm terrified of what they'll think

 

I'm especially terrified of you.

 

You should be able to read me like a book

When you don't, I'm amazed

When I told you, you looked like I'd slapped you

 

My world

It has changed

I was in your arms

 

Briefly

We melted

Lying in the rain

 

Your head

On my chest

Isn't a burden

 

I want you to wrap your arms around me

I want to feel your scruff on my cheek

I want to run my fingers through your hair

 

I want to make love in the rain.

 

You are the scariest thing that's happened

We should be lying next to each other

We should be sharing our art

 

Your song

My book and

My philosophy

 

We should

Leave this place

Find a safe venue

 

I would

Follow you

Privileged Presence

Of Your Time

Fear paralyses me

As the tears pour down

And my heart breaks

Ever so slowly

 

The waiting is worst

Without answers or hints or

Even a look to go off of

If you were around I could read you

 

The weight on my chest

It's hard to breathe

The simplest song releases

The next wave of pain

 

Why can't we just

Live like in my dreams

The fairy-tales in my head

The happy couple, forever after

 

Me head pounds

Calls for a drink

Or a pill or a shot or

Anything to erase these thoughts

 

My hope waivers

But never dies

As I wait patiently and painfully

For you to remember me

 

I scribble lines

And pray for word

To a god I don't believe in

But what else can I do

 

Your intelligence

Your talent

Your beauty and love

Perfection I don't deserve

 

Yet that look in your eyes

On the rare occasion

When you look into mine

Is worth the wait for each stolen moment

 

You see I'm helpless

Hopeless at your feet

Begging for a scrap

Of your time, of your time

Your Arms

Your strong arms encircle

My weakness

Our energy blends and

I melt into you

 

You think I can provide

Your healing

The truth is only this

Healing you saves me

 

I need your attention

Confessing

Dark days, dark paths, deep fear

I breathe in our love

 

Pounding, yearning, restless

When you near

I am left unsteady

As you walk away

 

I could stand at your side

We can lean

Holding one another

We prevent our fall

 

I pretend that I am

Strong enough

Waiting, a romantic

Of antiquity
