Anticipation
I step out, it’s hot and muggy.
We swim in the air, sweet and sickly,
The breaths are deep,
My lungs draw it in thickly.
This heat coats my skin
Holding and scolding me strictly.
Finally a crack, a burst and a flash.
The air splits open;
Your stillness begins to thrash.
Feelings change as the world dances
To this bang, boom, crash.
Days like this, you and I mesh.

At first glance most people think this poem is purely about a thunderstorm, but I tried to write it in a manner that can be interpreted in different ways. Keep an open mind and let it speak to your emotions.
