Stormy Weather

I step outside and
Warm air caresses my skin
Like a lover.
The rain clouds hang low in the sky;
Their stormy gray brings to mind
Your eyes.

Just one look my way and
I was caught up in their spell.
What I wouldn't give now to
See them glance my way.

This is sheer folly,
Sheer madness on my part.
I am playing a dangerous game and yet
My mind is over-ruled by my heart.

The more we talk the more I yearn to
Have you touch me once again.
All my perspective dances away and
I find myself getting in deeper.

Hard to tell if you're feeling the same,
I'm no good at reading the signs.
I know there's a risk but for you
I will take it.
I always seem to, I never learn.
I am the moth that seeks out your light,
Willing to feel the burn.

For if I only last felt alive
In the light of your eyes,
What wouldn't I give to once more
Become real under your gaze.

I look up to the sky that is
Threatening to break
As thunder rolls in the distance.
I pray that wherever you are,
In this instant,
You are thinking of me
Just as I am thinking ...of you.
