rain and tequila
usually make me want to
climb on top of you
and make us both as happy
as upstream salmon

in my mind
i push you grab
me and we both fall
carelessly with a splash
into a river of passion

unaware of breathing
breathing each other
inhaling your being
into my mouth and chest
heart beating with your blood

flowing, coursing, my life source
your undying love,
bottomless well of devotion
wrapping around me, a deluge,
you trust - my emotions flood

my fantasy vanishes
a puff of smoke, burned out match,
gone with the reality of
you will never believe in me
the cycle continues to happen.
