you spoke of climate
in a rather lady like manner
but I hoped the wind would come
and undo your precautions

something about storms
and what they do to deserts
seems so erotic to my mind
and the subtle edges of mountains

just before the sky presses down
and holds them captive in clouds
like a lover's hands wanting more
and a lover's lips drinking dreams

from the shimmering shoulder of a rainbow

before the storm
the old oak
quivers like
a spinster
about to
get a good pounding

o darkman
the places you make
even a goodgirl go

Intellectually I know that Canada is no better than any other country. Emotionally I KNOW that Canada is the best country in the world!

"something about storms and what they do to deserts--" even deserts bloom sometime, depending on the storm...

Hello Dark Stranger,

this reminds me of "The English Patient", one of my favourite, bitter-sweet books. The reference to the winds clinched it.

A melancholy, yet sensual rhythm to your poem heightens that-romantic, in the best sense of the word.

I really enjoyed this, thanks for the read.
