Joshua Johnson, 5 June, 1999
Outside the rain is coming down
I listen to its gentle rhythm
Mesmerized by its steady fall
My eyes become heavy
As my thoughts turn to you
A warm smile crosses my lips
My heart beats heavy
As your name rolls across my tongue
Spoken so gently my own ears cannot hear
Although you are far away
You are here with me
In my heart, my soul
Here close to me
I wrap my arms around you
And carry you out into the rain
I lay your warm body upon the wet ground
Kneeling over you
I gently begin to kiss your wet cheeks
Feeling your warmth next to me
You pull me ever so near
Embracing me in your arms
Passionately we kiss
As our bodies become one
No longer aware of the rain
Or the world that surrounds us
Taken away in our desire
Our wet bodies joined
A sweet loving embrace
As our lovemaking builds
Toward an overwhelming climax
Our bodies begin to tremble
Our passion released
Now as we lie in each others arms
And the rain caresses our skin
Into your eyes I stare
This one chance to say
" I love you"
Before you are once again
Far away from me
And exist only in my dreams
