Come Into The Garden
The fragrance of the summer rain, falls softly,
Beading on your lips, like dew on the meadow.
Our eyes gazing through the raindrops, as they fall.
Love stirs within, as nature washes the seeds.
Bountiful, nature's cup has runneth over.
Flows gently, amidst the desire we share.
Trickling off our brows, we embrace the moment.
Excited, you kiss the droplets upon my lips.
You sigh at the breathtaking beauty in bloom,
Seeking such pleasure as the petals open.
It responds, opens wide, to quench its thirst.
As the flower yearns to soak in the moisture.
The wetness makes me quiver, you pull me close,
I surrender, to the shelter of your arms.
The rain penetrates the awaiting garden wall.
Flowing within, the flower thirsts no more.

Beautiful indeed.
I really enjoyed this and you for sure have written a beautiful piece on the rain. I am looking forward to a rainstorm here as it has been so hot. -
Beautiful... so sensual and flowing - like the rain. Yes, we had a thunderstorm here today and though I was caught driving in it - I love it. It just makes me feel melancholy (in a good way) and thoughtful, lost in my imagination or memories. I also love the fresh smell of the earth after the rain.
"Bountiful, nature's cup has runneth over."
I love the "runneth" here.
Now, in this line, I do not exactly agree with the usage of the word "excited."
"Excited, you kiss the droplets upon my lips."
It adds a certain nervousness to the otherwise flowing and calm atmosphere of nature. Perhaps something like "enthralled" or "enraptured" would sound better? "excited" just seems a little too plain compared to the rest of the sensual lines. Just a suggestion...
Again, this is a wonderful read! Thank you.

Talk about coming in the garden.
