Love Poem: My Midsummer Rainstorm

My Midsummer Rainstorm

Loving him is like
Being in love with a
Midsummer rainstorm- 
He's got a soul born of thunder
And lightning-
Got caught up in his whirlwind, spinnin'
Into the circle of his arms- 
Dazedly-
But he always looked so- calm- 
Didn't he?
The eyes of a storm always do; 
But when you get close enough to 
Hear the wind-blown 
Whisper of his sigh, 
You'll feel the energy swirling 
Under the surface of his skin
Like fireworks
All ready to burst into shimmer-
White-hot sparks 
Burn in the dark-cloud shadow
Of his smiling eyes-
Like hurricane warnings flashing
Between hot and cold- like
Thunderbolts and fury of a downpour
Sudden enough to leave you gasping-
You get swept away before
You have time to get a good grasp
On your heart...
Loving him is like that.
