Hard and soft

Tongues intertwined, I kiss you
beneath the darkling sky,
immense explosions of grey and stark white
shooting higher and higher
storm building
in my heart
in my life...with you
raindrops tumble earthward
big as bumblebees
I have to stop
kissing
you
and catch a drop...on my tongue
clean wetness
savored before
I kiss you again
under the monsoon
delivering streams between our bodies
warmed by each other
under the sheltering cottonwoods
where no one can see...us.

Note: photo taken during summer storm-love Nebraska sky...awesome.
