While It Rained

We held each other all day through the rain, in one thousand different ways
Each time we changed positions we fit like a puzzle
Though our garments came between us, we couldn't be closer

Our goal, comfort; our need was rest
Snuggled up tightly
We sighed in relief

Ever so often we'd glance at each other
Into each other's eyes to savor our glee
Snapshots of bliss stored in our subconscious scrapbook

Our foreheads and noses often touching
Smiles and giggles and kisses exchanged
Soothing caresses, so healing and pure

What is lust but a cheap comparison
We shared something much deeper and true
All day long while it rained

Sounds of Sade in the backdrop
The aromas of love filled the air
With a hint of cinnamon and citrus too

Nuts, fruits, and the ripest of berries
A sumptuous share of fine delicacies
Not a hint of strong drink anywhere in our home

Our chemistry, intoxicating power alone
Sustained and extended our simplest pleasures
We hardly noticed the rain at all...

Puckered lips flirting with passion
Fingers taking refuge beneath our layered vestments
Peeling off a few to change up the textures

We kept ourselves busy
Yes, well entertained
We made the sun shine, and all while it rained..
