After The Rain

After we love

We bathe in the glow

Remembering what

Happened a moment ago

Like after the rain,

When the wind

Breezes a sigh

While it's resting

On pillows of sky

Deep in your arms,

It's peaceful and warm

Together we lay in a calm

That comes after the storm

In a moment or two,

We can hear the stars

Coming through

I love the quiet right

After the rain here with you

After the rain,

The birds want to fly

The trees all in green

Hang their leaves out to dry

Like puddles and pools,

What your eyes let me see

Are their loving reflections of me

After a while,

You touch me and then

I feel like a flower

That longs for a shower again

And then lost in a kiss,

I could stay forever like this

Though I don't know just

What magic the raindrops contain

I know that everything's

Wonderful after the rain
