The Rain Comes Down

I have been influenced to drown ...

The heavens are pregnant Delivers one drop On my upturned face I lick it with my lips Openmouthed Hungering, waiting for more Discovering The taste of innocence? More“ They bead my hair Jewels of joy Drizzles my face With butterfly kisses I need more” Lashes my lips Bruising intensity increases Deluge of love Constricting, uncontrollable pain Waiting for release The heat increases The fire within Blazes reason Conflagration, consummation, completion Reverts To that innocuous drizzle Rich with pregnant promises”

What stayed with you?

A line that lingered, a feeling, a disagreement. Great comments are as valuable as the original piece.
