Winter Light shows

Lightning storm

in mid-winter?

Much too warm,

a dissenter!

Flash of light,

bright white lumen.

Thunder rumbles

lengthy booming ...

Search the eyes

of my lover …

Will they quiet,

soothe and buffer?

Will they calm

or rain fire?

Mirror ire?

Hold desire?

Camaraderie

in the shadows.

Flickerings now,

less distinct glows

as our pulse,

as one pulse, slows ...

leaving off

with the light shows.

Fade … to … black.
