You became my undeserved gift Showing me your magical touch Providing an angelic lift Something I had needed so much My heart like barren desert floors Lying scorched under the orb of fear You promised thunderous downpours My soul quaking as the storms near Fear I’ll break with your touch so strong That I’ll be lost within the storm You soothe me with hypnotic song Within your eyes the storm clouds form Dance of silver droplets begin Steam rises as you touch me Cool drops cover me like satin My senses acute and running free Scents of fire and rain fill the air Lightening cuts the sky like a knife Quenching thirst of need with sweet care Showering my soul with love and life As you move the heavens and earth Passion calls with thunder and light I’m in awe of my own rebirth As the storm rages on with might The torrent fills and soaks me through With thunderous cries you delight A net of light holds our love true The heavens glow as we unite Rain falls with hypnotic pleasures Calling barren earth to join you Uncovering hidden treasures Around us desert flowers grew You promised peace with the ending rain I begged you not to let me go You said goodbye, we’d meet again As you wrapped me with a rainbow |

Fear I’ll break with your touch so strong That I’ll be lost within the storm You soothe me with hypnotic song Within your eyes the storm clouds form Dance of silver droplets begin Steam rises as you touch me Cool drops cover me like satin My senses acute and running free Scents of fire and rain fill the air Lightening cuts the sky like a knife Quenching thirst of need with sweet care Showering my soul with love and life ---------------- You promised peace with the ending rain I begged you not to let me go You said goodbye, we’d meet again As you wrapped me with a rainbow ----------------- WOW WOW WOW... my goodness...when you do a rain dance ... you dont mess around !! girl I LOVE THIS ... i can see how much work you put into this beauty... the imagery and metaphors are PERFECT!!! and the emotions ....well YOU KNOW excellent my sweet SS.., the beauty and grace of that last verse ... well, again ..

WOW! I fear my words would not do justice to such a fine work as this. The title is perfect, and the words!....I felt every one. Just awesome my dear friend. God grant me the serenity to accept the people I cannot change, the courage to change the one I can, and the wisdom to know it's me. ~Unknown |

Breathtaking imagery, and a lovely poem... Rain falls with hypnotic pleasures Calling barren earth to join you Uncovering hidden treasures Around us desert flowers grew You promised peace with the ending rain I begged you not to let me go You said goodbye, we’d meet again As you wrapped me with a rainbow ....... butterfly... what more did I ever want... regards, sudhir |

Beautiful writing here my friend. Happy to vote for such images!! Lone Wolf Poetry should surprise by fine excess...it should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts and appear almost a remembrance. -J.Keats |

Hey Butterflies that is a real pretty poem. I don't know who that storm was but it sounds like the desert soaked up a lot of needed attention. Really good writing, enjoyed the read. |
