I wait for you
in the darkness
as the wind begins to pick up
and rolling dark clouds wipe
the stars from the sky
I get that excited feeling
as I can sense the electricity
in the air; it dances along my skin
on the outside
while my flesh already tingles
on the inside from
the anticipation of your
arrival, and the sensations
you will bring there after
Lighting streaks across the sky
and the ground rumbles
too much excitement for me;
my two favorite things
together, in one beautiful
sensual symphony of delights
You appear as the light
fades from my eyes
the image of lighting
superimposed over you;
a storm on two fronts
and moisture gathers
and is released
from the roiling clouds above
You embrace me tightly
and kiss me hard
the storm em passions
you as well
as lightning silhouettes
our united bodies
and the rain
cleanses our souls

Spectacular. A tastefully erotic piece of beautiful imagery. You tied thunderstorms and romance in well together. Thanks for your entry.

This is beautiful. It gave me a new appreciation for thunder storms. I have missed my man enough to stand in any weather awaiting his arrival. Nice write. Thanks for entering and good luck

Wonderful take on the prompt. The metaphor of a thunderstorm is an apt one to describe sexual passion, in fact I did something similar in my poem Pool Dance. I like this a lot. It flowed well and was very sensual. I can see why it won a trophy.
