Liesurely wandering
tending to flowers
a gentle rain begins
delicately sprinkling
ignored
with only a glance
and a brief tender touch
indicating acknowledgement
of their passion
for fresh
rain-cleansed air
but beneath
that calm facade
lays hidden
sexual tension
stemming
from intimate knowledge
that rain on the roof
was always
an intoxicating aphrodisiac

Pert nipples appear
through dampened blouse
his own arousal evident
wordless consent
passing between them
as the gentle shower
becomes a downpour
desire
not discomfort
driving them indoors.

As she towels
her rain drenched hair
a ritual begins.
He opens the window a bit
to allow fragrant
fresh air inside
peels his shirt off
helps with the buttons
of her blouse
the towel dropping
submissively
to the floor
bare skin next to skin
as he pulls her close
an electric friction
a succumbing
to the ritual
mutual passion
once more
brought to fruition
their version of heaven
of paradise found
as he lifts her
with strong arms
carrying her tenderly
to the soft bed.
