SHOWERS OF LOVE

One afternoon
accompanied by the
blazing sun
her lover came to
her apartment
bathed in sweat.
She greeted him
took him inside and hugged him
switched on the
ceiling fan
they stood in embrace
for several minutes
at a stretch
exchanging kisses, kisses
and kisses.
The anxious, curious sun
mulled peeping into
inside the room
he saw she
with her cherry lips
wiping away her lover’s
the sweat beads
both almost naked
both bemused noticing
the peeping
sun made a flashy
disappearance from the scene
dark clouds gathered
in the sky in no time
accompanied by cool winds
the temperature came to a
low
the atmosphere turned
dusky
a heavy downpour followed
accompanied by lightning and thunder
both enjoyed the moments
thanks to the generosity of
the sun.
But her lover had
to leave her
albeit with a tinge
of sadness
before her husband
came
but no sign of
thundershowers subsiding
he had to go
awashed with showers
of kisses
by generous rain….
He came awashed with sweat
went awashed with
rain….
See, the pranks
played by the sun….
