Rain

Rain

Weekend long wet and windy
We have played endless games
Cards and carrom...chess..
Bluff..checkmate.

You've defeated me easy suave
Crafty tormentor
Till in shameful surrender
I am encircled

Still we turn off the lights
To play hide and seek
Darkroom dreams long drawn tease
Poker faced in pursuit of pleasure
Mission impossible jarring the air
A spur.

Something's off.
Moon bathing in blue velvet
My pinnacles of thrilling rapture
Delight oozes on the terrace.
I just want to be your capture
Conquered delicious.
Why do you
Close my pea black eyes
And harden your understanding
Of my rain...

I don't want this kiss
I want to watch rain fall
endlessly
Caressing and teasing
Trading breathless
Silent rainchecks with the breeze.

Pain and passion
We'll do this again
And again.
