Love in a flash
a lightning bolt from me to you
zapping our inner beings
[we’re] cooling down from the heat of the day
and yet as hot tempered as the wind
and yelling at each other’s faces like the boom and roar of the sky
crazy thoughts
thinking the storm is norm
al
knowing the road of time must
lead to a dawn
after a night of passion
when the cool, the noise, the rain soaked ground, our minds, hearts, souls, idea, love, late night poetry, messages, 
words conveyed without speech, much like the storm
shall
	i
d   a	s		t
s        p	  a	e
But for the moment
I rage in you and you rage in me
and we live!

(after all if not for the moment then when?  if not for joys/platitudes life and life’s creations, then why?  and if not 
by love with thunder, lightning, excitement heat cold and a gust from me to you and back in circles then how?)
