i see myself, lying beside you,
listening to your heartbeat and inhaling the symphony that escapes from your lips,
i see you,
caressing my fears and kissing my puffy eyes into beautiful bliss,
singing to me
the heavens vomit lightning and the rain pays no mercy to the impudent earth,
but you sing on, as the world outside evolve into nothingness
just you, me, our hearts, and your voice against lightning and rain
today the heavens roar
why do these clouds choose to unhinge their tongue?
whisper o mother whisper
today the earth bleeds
why do these cracks swallow legs and head alike?
why do my teeth dance as the wind rapes my attention?
why does my hair pay more loyalty to the fierce cold outside than the peace inside me.
the heavens roar

Love and rain.
