Water


Exsanguinated,

I have bled out,
arid I am.

I yearn for you,
quench my thirst,
quench my thirst.  

Let me drink of your body,
drink ‘til I’m full,
fill me up; fill me up,
rush headlong,
rush blood–red,
sear through my veins.

Fill me up,
fill me up -
you are my water,
I am your cup.
Empty,
I’m so empty,
empty, I’m empty
just waiting
for you.

Sumana at Poets United has us writing of Water and perhaps I have gone off on a tangent…  Cheers for the inspiration Sumana!

there is a great sense of longing through out this... almost a sadness it seems...well penned

Susan said...

I think it is the water who thirsts for a partnership with us, one offered and offered, but on a large scale, still refused. A potent lament!

"You are my water, I am your cup". How sweet, and even sweeter when the cup is full. Smiles.

Gillena Cox said...

Thankyou for veering off to take you own course in this matter. We should love water in the same way to prevent its exploitation.

The yearning is in the flesh and bones... it bleeds through the screen.

I’m empty
just waiting
for you

Such longings for a loved one will come to fruition sooner or later. It normally works that way!

Fantastic. I think we have all felt like that sometimes.
