Love

love


the world was ending
and still we owed each other
the unconsummated kisses
of all lovers
it rained bitterly
desperately feverishly
it rained with the need of droughts 
the despair of floods 
your body unleashed
merciless thunder
lightning ripped mine
into quivering arches 
you finally slept
by the hot thighs of my thought
at the edge of a long kiss
desperate as the end of the world
with bloody lips 
I rose
wrapped you in a dream
and with a single gesture
stopped the rain
