“Sunburst” by: D. Trifiletti

 
Downpour

~

you hit like a downpour
a thunderstorm of love
your kisses hot as lightning
striking from above

your passion was a tempest
I was swept up in its force
but now the winds have died
this storm has run its course

my thoughts are chilled and cloudy
my eyes are steady rain
my heart’s caught in a cold front
bad weather’s bringing pain

the warm winds will return
as will the clear blue skies
but my heart will ever yearn
for that sunburst in your eyes
