Sensation

I loved him so much
it made my skin ache
just to reach     the edge
colored streaks of silver blue
rolling upon the poetry of rain
tender spot in a velvet storm
ink curled and bled on paper
as liquid passion hit hot blacktop
sizzling to rise on steamed breath
swirling in this heat I fly
like a child running on tip toes
to catch each possible drop
suddenly a charge passes
of kisses cool against my lips
surely I am singed
as thunder holds me tight
between it’s heavy clapping
and just when I
should be most afraid
I am calm

“but I'm so hard to handle
I'm selfish
and I'm sad”…Joni Mitchell
