Thunder

and we're in each other's arms.
Engulfed by the rhythm of raindrops
heartbeats counting out time on the
stickiness of skin against skin.

Somebody's forgotten to draw shut the curtain
A streetlight shines flush on the rivulet window
Casting its shadows upon us, entwined now
Silhouettes tracing their curves on our skin

The tempo on rooftop, alluring, enchants us
Pulls from us each one the night's final cry
Then tucks us away in ourselves and our covers
As we drift away to the storm's lullaby.
