Northern Boulevard

As the rain dances outside my open window, 
the pit patter of her footsteps,
floats through the air. 

As the rain dances outside my open window,
cloaked in the darkness of the night, 
shadows of her form
cast across my room
when illuminated by jagged flashes of light.

 As the rain dances outside my open window, 
I’m lost and found in your embrace,
your smile— beacon of light in the darkness.

 Mesmerized I whisper, “I love you”,
as the rain serenades us 
with its gentle symphony.
