Love Like Heat Lightnin’

I want a love like heat lightnin’
Arcing forth from the cloud
Of his heart, to mine

Illuminating, never destructive
Electrical, but not damaging

I want a love like heat lightnin’
Crackling in the hot, humid air
Between he and I

Silent, brilliantly shining
Visible, but not frightening

I want a love like heat lightnin’
Breathtaking in its luminosity
Energizing he and I

Ephemeral, but real
Intense, but not harmful

I want a love like heat lightnin’
Especially when it rains
And there is no he and I.
