Storm Over Time

The rain pelts and fire and the cold ignite
And the drum across the window pain
Leads to wild tumbles and smoked fogs

And the sky, a betraying gray
Lies down and dies on the concrete
Is born in the river
And lives in the clouds

Soft rustling is heard among the sea
A sigh and silence and then breath
A barrier against sorrow, a balm to heal

Together they live in the rain
And the rain is their Aphrodisiac
And it is more than the act
It is a merging of two into one
Of lust into peace
It is time and time again

The passion released for the storm
