Love in Summer Storms

On sultry nights
thoughts of you invade my senses
and I know I am lost,
I left myself fall
effervescently.

I need your arms
like gravity to hold me
and I inhale your earthiness,
I want to taste rain storms
on your lips.

I long for the winter in your eyes
to transcend me
from this sweltering heat,
though I know I could melt
right into you.

Let the storm break over our heads
and my body become electric,
a live wire beneath your fingertips,

Ball lightening gathering inside of me,
I need you to absorb the shock
of my electromagnetic fields,
because I tend to spiral out of control.

We are caught at the pivotal point
between desert heat and hailstorms,
and when I awake it will be amid
landslides and flash floods,
with the euphoria of the impression
of you still lingering
upon my body.
