Member Poem

I just want to hold your hand as roiling thunder storms

To let you know it was your touch – t’was then I was reborn
I just want to dance, rain drenched, entranced, electrified
To hold and taste and feel, and see the lightning in your eyes

I just want to walk with you on limpid wave-washed shores
To wander on an endless beach and know, for now, I’m yours
I just want to wake, sun-baked, to share the summer’s charms
To ride against the tide of you, encircled in your arms

I just want to lay with you in meadows flower-strewn
To stroke your arm and see if there our spirits might attune
I just want to romp with you in finely powdered snow
To shriek with glee and freeze and warm again in fiery glow

I just want to scale the heights and say the world is ours
To show you stars of endless nights as moments become hours
I just want to dive and lose us both in azure hue
To cherish every dreamscaped wonderous moment spent with you
