Human Thirst

A moments heat escapes 
Savage grumbles no debate
Seeping out of my human instincts  
Flesh weakened, hearts sink 
Beating wildly 
Some call it love, mildly 
Reach higher than high 
Sigh
Then slowly cooling off to a bliss that bursts 
Quenching the human thirst

very well written Laura, I like your way of writing too, and thanks for commenting. Well, thanks again for your words about MY poetry. I did not publish a book yet but working on it. I have to edit it, started writing in the year 2000, finished in 2007. Not getting time, or else would have done it. Peace and wishes :) - AMAAN!
