When You Did Come Back To Me Poem by Daleen Enslinstrydom

When you did come back to me it was raining,
the water streamed down from you,
your eyelashes were dripping wet, your eyes veiled,
your clothes were drenched and they did cling to your body.

No storm could keep you away,
the thunder did roar and the lightning bolts were flashing down
and still you did come through the overflowing ford,
you did face the stormy weather.

Your wet hair were muddled,
your eyes did tell stories of things that you have seen,
your hands were cold and your lips were warm
and feelings in my heart
did rumble like the far off thunder.

I did long for your arms, your body
and much more than rain did fall.
Time came to a halt
and when the clouds disappeared and the sun made its appearance
words were superfluous.
