Like the Rain

My longing gathers
like moisture in the air
things I can’t live without
condense into being
form you into my atmosphere

I want to pour over you
wash away your worries
trickle through your tousled hair
bead onto your upper lip
dance between your eyelashes

I love you like the rain
falling for you quietly 
gently caressing your surface
rushing to wet the tongue 
that I want to trace your scars with

Like a thundercloud rolling in
our fronts colliding
making passionate grumblings
breathing wind against your neck
drenching you in my essence

I love you like the rain
like a torrential, existential 
downpour of my senses
with a devotion that will not dissipate
