Spring Rain

The gentle rain falls
onto my window sill,
and I am lulled
by the rhythmic sound.
I dream of standing
with you in the rain,
cold, and wet . . .
and then walking 
inside,
and starting a fire . . .
I want to be your flame,
your every desire . . .
I want to be your sun and moon.

I dream of waking to your smile.
I dream of closing the distance
between us with a kiss,
a wish . . .
a prayer . . .

Outside the rain still falls,
and my heart is
full of longing . . .
I pinch myself
to ease the aching of my heart.
You are my song,
my starry sky . . .
you are my friend,
and protector . . .

I want to be the dream
you cherish . . .
I want to be your morning
noon and 
night.
