The Arms of a Stranger:

Dark stars hide behind
misty moon midnight.
Smell the skin riding the breeze
Sticky 100-degree rain drops
smear mascara under slants of blue.
Droplets glistens on naked shoulders.
Shirtless, he is shelter.
The lie breathes truth
Masked by tan tight abs.
His fingertips graze life
Into trembling limbs.

Crackle screams the lightening.
The soaked soil quakes beneath bodies.
The thunder moans.
Into the water we splash.
Down down down
Trickles the river.
Faster, Faster, Faster
Toward the damn.
The moon follows close.

Rise the stars, the moon, the earth, the river
Higher higher higher
To shine truth on the lie.
Eyes glaze over
In the light
Of the fall.

When I walked in on you that day,
what I saw was stunning-least to say.
Never thought you'd hurt me this way
