Everybody Loves A Storm
Forget The Umbrella
I wait in the night, and I light the candle,
witness you stealing my breath, a mysterious vandal.
I stand in the rain, because I like your thunder,
gazing into your eyes, still amazed by the wonder.
You opened the door, let me be the driver,
not afraid of the speed, an adrenaline survivor.
Hands off the wheel, limits out the window,
controlling the speed, still in love with the shadows.
No need to feel ashamed, your secret, a treasure,
whatever happens next, I'm all in for pleasure.
Turn away if you want, but if you jump, go all in,
time is fleeting away, and I'm in it to win.

So, folks...I wanted to do something a bit different for my next challenge thingo. I wanted to turn things back on you - as many of you have been firm and constant supporters of me and I always feel I've been a let down in terms of reciprocating.
