rain at work is not the same

at home with you it is everything

weekend breakfasts of hot chocolate coffee

croissants stuffed with egg, bacon, cheese
baked hash brown pie, cheese, bacon, chilis, onions
then crisped in an iron skillet
monkey bread for dessert

watching you in the kitchen

i do not count utensils, pans, plates

i will wash, dry 

return to where they rest 

until you the sorceress

commands them forward

however, my favorite are sharing rainy days with you
the entryway closet housing walking gear
those Pooh and Piglet saunters in the rain
playing in puddles, best way to spend the day
she says, as we walk hand in hand

it is as if the Creator has spoken

unto this day you are bound to one another

rejoice in the love you have been given

these are the dearest remembrances

when i am at work, look out the window

watch the rain, hearing in its prater

the wind whispering your name

my heart longs for those arms

lips that hunger to crush yours

i rise from my desk, walk to the window

looking out at the storm my soul has one desire

to be lost with you in an afternoon nap

as the rain gently falls from the heavens
paradise enow
