Lightning gilds her body
as she stands in the pouring rain.
Thunder echoes her wild heart,
yearning for something she cant quite touch.

He is there...in every drop of rain,
falling on her body,
touching her every need.
Rainkissed lips call his name.

And he is there
pulling her to him in the driving rain.
His lips follow the rain.
Does he hear the thunder...or is it her heart?

They slip to the ground
no longer aware of the raging storm.
Its a faint echo of their own.
Rain on their bodies.

Falling, falling,
a deluge of passions storm,
full blown and out of control,
a tempest in her eyes.

They ride the wind of longing,
til the thunder is just a memory.
and lightning no longer plays in the sky.
The storm dies a lovers death.

You've got this great way of writing romantic hot!.....

               "Falling, falling,
                a deluge of passions storm,
                full blown and out of control,
                a tempest in her eyes.

                They ride the wind of longing,
                til the thunder is just a memory.
                and lightning no longer plays in the sky.
                The storm dies a lovers death."

Very nice indeed!  Hummm!
