And Still It Rains

And Still It Rains


Midnight

And it is raining
Again
The night is quiet, 
The streets are quiet
Except for 
The dew of Heaven
Except for the beating
Of my heart
And the sounds of my breathing.

I have been dreaming of you 
Again
Dreaming the forbidden
The passion and desire
That lives only in my dreams
Now.

I still feel your lips upon mine,
The sweetness I crave,
The mouth that claims me
As it's own
The mouth I give myself 
To.

I lick the taste of you
Off my fingers
Like chocolate
And honey
And my taste buds
Cry out in ecstasy.

But you're not really here
Are you?
You are in the realm of sleep
Where you await in lucid dreams
And fantasy.

So why do I
Hear you in the raindrops?
Feel you in the wind's caress?
Touch you in the flesh
When I close my eyes?

You are here
Aren't you?
I just can't see you
With my eyes open,
Only closed, only closed.

It's then I can love you
As you love me
Kiss you
As you kiss me
Touch you
As you touch me.

I need you
Like a garden
Needs rain
Like a desert
Needs a flood.

I am parched for you
My monsoon
I am hungry for you
My banquet
Thirsty for you
My hurricane.

Let me feel
Your waterfall
Drench me
In this midnight
Let me feel you
Fall into me
With every drop of rain.

For the rain is you
And the rain is me
Falling into one another
Like silver
Like gold
Like love.

Listen!
Do you hear that?
It is our hearts 
Communing
Calling out to one another
In the night..........
Beseeching and taunting
And teasing with promises.

Our hearts call
Unbidden by our minds
For our minds are afraid
And shy and inhibited 
By our schooling.

But our hearts know
No boundaries, no laws,
No teaching.....
Other than what they teach us
Themselves.

Our hearts
Cannot be tamed
Or imprisoned
Or contained in any way
Because they are wild 
And free.

And only they.......
Know how to access the realm
Where you and I meet
Know where the doors are........
The locks.....where the keys are hidden
And know how to turn them.

This is the secret
That very few know
But we know
Don't we?

And when it rains,
We run there happily
Like children who are innocent,
Yet wise
And we play in the rain
And we love with abandon
And joy.

And tonight, my love
We have met once again
We have reveled in desire
And bathed in bliss
Given ourselves to passion
And taken only 
What we could carry in our hands.

For though we are selfish
And we need more and more,
We know that longing for something
Only makes it sweeter,
Only makes it more cherished.

And having said that,
My heart is still hungry,
My mouth is still thirsty,
My arms empty and reaching
My body cries out for another hurricane
And still it rains.

Craving

 

Craving


Craving love or something close to it
We ran laughing to the forest
Away from chiding eyes

Blending ourselves into tall grasses
Underneath friendly trees
We fell hard as stone into an embrace

Nothing mattered once we were entwined
Nothing could pull us apart or make us afraid
Not even angry elders

The grass feels cold and damp
But we revel in it's touch
On our fevered fingers

We throw off our buckskins
And cover one another
With the blankets of our love

How beautiful you are, I think
How young and strong and bronzed
Like the deer that scampers past us

You put a flower behind my ear
And caress my face with a gentle hand
Your eyes beckoning me to fall inside

I am so hungry but not for food
I am so thirsty but not for water
I am almost mad with the wildness

I always knew you were mine
Even as a little girl, I knew
No other warrior could ever turn my head

I followed you like your shadow
And we took chances
That only fools would ponder

Your father would look at me
And then at you and shake his head
Then smile behind his hand, chuckling

My father would only shake his head
And sigh and let out angry groans
While my mother scolded me and kept the peace

So many times we almost went too far
But we held back and prayed for strength
And went there in our hearts

Then came the day we wedded
And we were joined with many blessings
And sighs of sweet relief

We were like young wolves chasing prey then
We had caught one another at last
And didn't know what we should do in the catching

But soon we knew exactly what to do
In the absence of prying eyes and teasing smiles
We knew. We knew.

And when the craving came looking
We did not hide from it nor deny it's pull
We let it take us to the forest

And we wild'd away the thunder
And the lightning of each storm
And lay besotted in arms that belonged to only us

You smile at me and raise an eyebrow
And I smile back and pull you again, near
Near this heaven that your love has made here

Craving you in the whisper of the wind
The mystery of the full moon
The sweetness of a summer rain

We love until we are emptied of hunger
And filled up again with rapture
We lie down in desperation and rise up in joy

But always craving.............
                   ...............always craving

And that is good.
