Looking up towards stormy skies,
I lie upon my back.
An aching heart, an outstretched hand,
Seeking what I lack.
On wayward winds, my thoughts do drift,
Drifting towards the past.
A familiar scent brought by a breeze,
My heart beats swift and fast.
Lover's lament, head down in shame,
I sense your presence nearing.
Regret, remorse, perchance redemption?
Is this what I am hoping?
With sanguine eyes, I steal a glance,
Fearing what may be.
Disbelief fills my mind,
This sight in front of me.
I cannot wait, nor hesitate,
This chance that I've been given.
I see your smile and all the while,
I know I've been forgiven.
Burdened no more, my spirit soars,
I look upon your face.
From your ears, down to your chin,
My fingers, they do trace.
Our lips draw near, I close my eyes,
Anticipation most divine.
Flash of light, thunder cracks,
I feel your lips on mine.
As I open my eyes, I see the lie,
I'm met with shock and pain.
You were never here… and that kiss?
Nothing more than a drop of rain.

What a funny dream...

Thank you for taking the time to read this!
I'd appreciate any and all feedback.
Um, not sure what to ask for, critique-wise, for a poem. XD
Let's see...
1. Did it seem choppy meter-wise anywhere? Did it flow good?
2. Was the subject matter clear? Were there any parts that didn't make sense?
I'm pretty traditional when it comes to poems, so I apologize in advance if the rhyme scheme is repetitive. XD
Hope you liked it!

I love the theme and your use of literary devices such as alliteration and imagery, it really makes the poem enjoyable to read. However I feel that the climax of the poem came a little too late, and would have loved another stanza in between the final two, just to give the poem more structure and a feeling of resolution. Overall though, it was a pleasure to read, great work!
