Storms Pass |

Tonight there's a longing as I gaze upon the stars All the wonders of heaven that reach us from afar Northern lights seldom seen for a short time remain While the warm breeze sighs at the fall of gentle rain The silver streaks of raindrops are reminders As they fall on the face of a hollow man Remembering when they fell on both of us When we walked in storms holding hands The dark clouds would gather And lightning would flash so bright Then the cracking sound in the distance Our whole world would become void of light We opened the door to the splendor of heaven And held each other in a warm embrace While candles flickered on yonder tables We drink with lust from each kiss we taste Moments in time fleeting, drifting from minds embrace Bound by these feelings the shackles unable to shake And my soul cries as if trapped in some dismal abyss My lips tremble recalling the warm breath of your kiss |

I like the pensive mood of remembering you enhance with your change in rhyme schemes! *S* This is lovely! |

Indeed, all storms pass... even the storms of passion, it seems. Enjoyable read. Take pleasure in those memories. Michael |

I, as many people, can certainly relate to this, Paul. ~*~ The sound of a kiss is not so loud as that of a cannon, |
