Love



is at its most intense
in the little moment
before the very moment of love

When the first drop of rain
fills your heart
before the shower soaks you through

When the sea heaves a wave
and surges forth
to hold you in a mighty embrace

When the caress of a breath
fans your cheek
then falters at the drop of a kiss.
