The Tease.

.

I smelled it first.
I smelled it, that unmistakable smile of a secret excitement.
Coy and teasing, I smelled it.
Almost close enough to touch, to feel and caress,
Yet held at that teasing distance just at my fingertips.

..

And then I could see it.
It was growing larger before me, I could see it.
So close I could almost grasp it and kiss it, I could see it.
So teasingly near it brushed against me.

...

And then it began.
It began as a brush against me.
Slowly it began, teasingly.
I smiled at being able to feel it.
I knew it was there.

....

And then I could feel it.
Harder and harder, I could feel it
Getting faster, I could feel it
Until I was almost drowning, I gasped.
So wet I almost slipped.

.....

And then I knew.
This was it, I knew.
The wet dripping off me, I knew.
I felt that moment of ecstacy
Caught amidst that perfect connection.

......

Forever, it seemed to last.
Forever, I bathed in the wet that licked my skin.
Forever, as I embraced the coming.
Forever.

.......

And then it stopped raining.
