Summer Rain

Your eyes

shine warm and dark

midnight summer rain

Your hair

flows about me

the water of a stormfilled river

Your perfume

sweet morning flowers

blanket me

in the promise of delight

Your rose

soft supple blossoms

cover velvet hills and valleys

Your love

is the rain

is the water

keeps the promise

Let it

swell the stormfilled river

Let it

slake the cruel thirst

of the parched earth.

I live for nothing else.
