Best Hydrate Poems


Premium Member Unforgotten Shores

Take me there to yesterday's Summer night.
Walking on the beach,
sand between our toes,
hair blowing in the breeze.

When ripples in the sea,
slowly cleansed the sand,
tickling our toes,
washing away our footsteps.

On the edge where ocean meets land,
shoulder to shoulder we sat,
listening to calm splashing waves,
our tanned skin soaking wet.

As stars twinkled in the horizons,
reflecting against the rushing tide.
It seemed as they had arrived 
to be placed inside your eyes.

Gazing at the sun sink into the sea,
fireflies flickered as embers kept us warm.
Affectionately we embraced nature's silence,
with only the sound of our hearts beating.

Too frail are these feet to stroll along those shores.
but you remain harboured within my heart.
Together we've seen many waves kiss dry sands,
but unlike unfaithful tides, you still hydrate my soul.

We yearn to end it that way,
to be taken back to yesterday's summer night,
but are content building sandcastles,
along current coastlines.

Unforgotten Shores

 Take me back to yesterday's summer night
Walking on the beach,
Sand between our toes
Hair blowing in the breeze.

When ripples in the sea 
slowly cleansed the sand,
Tickling our toes,
Washing away our footsteps.

On the edge where ocean meets land,
Shoulder to shoulder we sat,
Listening to calm splashing waves,
Our tanned skin soaking wet.

As skies twinkled in the horizon,
reflecting against the rushing tide.
It seemed as they have arrived
to be placed inside your eyes.

Gazing at the sun sink into the sea,
Fireflies flickered as embers kept us warm.
Affectionately we embraced nature's silence
with only the sound of our heartbeats.

Too frail are these feet now to stroll along those shores,
but you remain harboured within my heart.
Together we've seen many waves kiss dry sands,
But unlike unfaithful tides,you still hydrate my soul.


We yearn to end it that way,
to be taken back to yesterday's summer night,
but are content building sandcastles,
along current coastlines.

Thankyou S.O. for this opportunity.It was great collaborating
with you.

Premium Member Just Say No

Just say no to sunshine
Trying to penetrate your dark doom
Wrap your black cloud around its fire 
Smoother it in your tears, in your grief
In your past trauma
Feel it struggle in your stranglehold
Feel its energy released, drained,
Spent in your grasp
As happiness gasps dying
Drooping, whithering away
Should it rise again to sear your darkness
Murder it
You're so good at feeling hopeless
Why try to feel anything but
Slay it again and again
Every time it swells up in you
Tempts you to believe that it will last
It will stay, it will dwell deep in your heart
Forever
Convincing you with slippery slick sly serpent tongue
To let the big lie slide inside you (again)
Where you tend it, hydrate it, and grow it
Until its even bigger than before
(Really)
Yeah... and you let it fill you up
Lift you
Thrust you gravity free
Ride that rocket to dizzying, breathtaking
Earth shattering heights
From which you know you'll be
Shot down like a rainbow
Stretched over the sky
In a spectacular, sparkling, dizzying
Exploding array of glittering joy
Spritzing the heavens, drizzling down
Coating your heart with sweet, warm
Delicious love
Only to have that scorching light

That blasted you full

Retreat from the depths of your darkness

And leave you emptier than before

Sighing with despair 

F___ sunshine


Premium Member The Unsupervised Stop Sign

Blazing sun stuns my eyes, sunglasses offer no respite.
Clammy hands tremble, as the steering wheel begins vibrating.
Arsenic heat suffocates, wrapping its hands around my neck.
Parched lips beg to hydrate, 
but 'Jeptha Creed' increases the intensity.
Thunder rumbles through my body,
as lightning strikes in 'desert storm' flashbacks -
all I see is red flags, red lights and red rage.

Feet seem cemented trying to find the break,
then stumble trying to regain control.
Dazed thoughts slowly crumble, searching for green to go.

Metal medley of machine guns, bloodshot,
go bang, bang, bang, as all around begins to fall down.
Grenades and strident screams reverberate like bombastic echoes,
over and over again, boom, boom, boom,
like a broken record with deep inherited scratches,
resembling resurfacing scars, left behind from mangled wounds.

Head is spinning like a bike wheel, spasms are speeding, unable to halt.

I scream at graphic memories of fallen comrades,
cursing, why I was the last man standing.

Premium Member Earth Element of Water

Earth Element of Water


The foremost need for earthly water is hydration;
     without its properties, there is no cell creation.
          Good cultivation of our crops needs irrigation.

All life craves water to survive, a requisite;
     we are part water, need supply beyond a perquisite.
          No matter what we do...a huge prerequisite.

It comes and goes, recycled by precipitation,
     brought on by its evaporation, condensation;
          this cycling is a gift of nature's circulation.

Absorbed by all except those rocks, impermeable,
     our water hydrates soil, refills our water table; 
          keeps our aquatic life in water bodies stable.

For arid deserts, monsoon rains invigorate
     green grass and refill ponds where wildlife migrate
          to feed and hydrate, strengthen bodies, procreate.

Symmetrical snowflakes, formed by crystallization,
     like floating angels, stir great vivification -
          one-of-a-kind designs cause mystification.

Of earth's four basic elements, it is one-quarter,
     and there would be no life without our precious water;
          we have our mother earth...and water is her daughter.

I Start Here

A blow to move the fine hairs that creep down the back of your neck
 a gaze on the lips of your ears, as you wonder in confusion, what shall happen next
 The soft black satin on your bronze skin
 The spark in your eye
 the quiver of your skin as my fingers glide over your exposed skin
 the rush of your fingers as I ask you to pin your hair up
 the darkness of your nipples
 the red of your facial blush
 squat over a stool, so I can make you turn in circles
 my moment, my you
 point your toes together and your knees too
 don't look at me, I will look at you
 quickly remove your lace breast holders and then hold your breast up
 stand slowly, I want to see how your muscles form
 turn around quickly, so I can see your body rumble
 spread your legs, bend, bend some more, bend all the way over..
 the tracked white lace on your black cotton thong pleases me
 I am glad I don't have to tell you how to have some damn class
 drop those hands to your hips, pull those stockings tighter up
 come over here, this blade will remove what you were not born with
 and this cold will make you rush.
 get on your knees, no stand-up, kneeling is too common for a girl like you
 stand, stand on this bed and look down on me, I will hold you up so you don't fall
 bounce so I can see your breast move in rhythm
 in fact, step down, so we can dance, I have not danced in years
 a delightful woman, a delightful hour, yes I want us to dance
 relax, lay your back to my chest, as we sway, side to side
 trance.... beat, rhythm, move to the sound of my voice
 I will catch you if you fall, I will catch you if you fall
 breath in your own breath, so I can know how I am making you feel this evening
 everyone you know will not matter, who matters is in this room, me and you,
 with only water to hydrate you as I want you pure
 soft, tight bronze fat skin
 beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

I am beholding you, please don't talk.

Elements Part 3: Water

We cannot do without water,
But it could do without us
If we choose!
 
Bodies of living things are made up 
of mostly water, squashy plants,
Blood and Lymph  included too. 
Without Hydration, the skin as well as
Internal organs would become very dry.

Dry organs cannot function and 
Would definitely malfunction!
Even tears and saliva would be
 diminished,
Forming crusts instead of lubricating!

Drink lots of fluids, for fluid loss 
is a continuous  thing-
As we breathe, sweat, in kidney-
filtering, 
Water is indeed a Requisite for life 
and living; 
Mucus dilution during the Common
 Cold.

Normal electrolytes  depend upon it.
Potassium, Sodium, Magnesium
when dry, crystalizes and heart and
Brain problems we do get. 

Water is also seen in Crystallization,
In the form of ice, snow,or on cold
surfaces. 
It crystalizes on those unfortunately
frost-bitten ones,
In the frozen, hard unrelenting cold
caregivers take care of!

It Precipitates in Seas, Oceans, Rivers,
Lakes and Streams;
Where "hot air rises" as a mist to the
 clouds,
Making them heavy to "fall" as rain.
Animals, Humans and Vegetation welcome it.

Water is a great "body-guard" for being 
Impermeable,
Oil and water never mix and fat is separated too.
Water helps form blood and lymph after we eat,
Flowing to flush out our accumulated mess.

We are Invigorated with life, as cells hydrate
Durig a long trek on a path at camp.
Water invigorates the life-source due to
 exhaustion,
Even the Lord cried out "I thrist."

Water "minds its own business:
Quenching the thirst of animals, 
Irrigating lands as it passes by,
Filling reservoirs for domestic use.
Choose to make use of it daily!

Pep Talk Soliloquy

Much to do
Yes it's true

Sit in chair
Look and stare.

Illness strain
Constant drain

What a mess
Hornet nest.

Clutter here
Clutter there.

Just start small
I won't fall

Choose one thing
It won't sting

Do it quick
That's the trick.

Stay on task
Make it last.

Hydrate too
Good it's true.

On all day
Music play.

Pick up house
Vacuum couch

Remove the trash
Do it fast.

Clean the loo
Lots to do.

Do some wash
Be the boss.

Organize 
It is wise.

Simplify
Give a try.

Get it done
Make it fun.

Give away
Take today.

When not use
Time to lose.

Pack-rat style
Looking vile.

Remove dust
Mold and must.

Freshen air
Sweep all stair.

I will see
Will feel free.

Rooms get neat
Doldrums beat.

Attitude
Changes mood.

Do not quit
Or even sit.

Do not shirk
Pride in work

Till all done
I"ll have won.

If  I heed 
All I need.

Keep it nice
Don't think twice.

Do it now
Then take bow.

Give myself
All the help.

Take my time
Do not whine.

No more mess
Do my best.

Look around
No dark cloud

Darkness gone
Didn't take long

Cleared the mess
Removed stress.

Keep it up
Won't erupt.

Peace and joy
Stop annoy.

Time to rest 
Done my best.

It's now home
No more alone.

Being clean
No longer dream.

Little a day
Make it stay.

Easy, see?
Just for me

Routine set
Don't forget.

Set aside
Please abide.

Tips today
Clean will stay.

Show my son
It can be done.

He will do
His own too.

We're a team
Got to clean.

Need to share
Make it fair.

Time is now
This is how.

Soon I'll see
More from me.

Fight thru pain
Much to gain.

No more run 
Must get done. 

Have my plan
Time to stand.

Lead the way
Start today.

Marilyn-A Candle In the Wind

Born Norma Jean Mortensen
Marilyn was a singing, poetry writing and acting American
Born and raised in L. A., Miss Monroe
Grew in in foster homes
Growing up, her world was grim
To escape, she learned to pretend
Far from flattering
Starting out with very low salaries
Becoming top 100 movie stars of all time
Yet gone too soon while still in her prime
Sexiest female movie star of all time
Classic shape of 37-23-36
Small minded men, only thinking of sex
Over 600 books written about her
Who know that she was a stutterer?
She said you can't curl up with money at night
Without a real soulmate, that sure is right
Hollywood pays you $50,000 for a kiss
Get out of line, you get dismissed
And 50 cents for your soul
Your life never whole
Big breasts, big butt, big deal
Ignore my body, look at my skill
People would always stop and stare
Follow the rules, you get no where
Finding out who she really was, people never bothered
Doing that was way too awkward
It's not easy being a star
Fame is fickle, fame is like caviar
It's good, but not damned everyday
She said drugs pull you down, always making you pay
A candle in the wind
Associating with the wrong kind of friends
She knew in the end
Diamonds are not necessarily a girl's best friend
It was a tragic loss
When she faced the double cross
Barbiturates administered by bastards, bigots and bandits
Given chloral hydrate
By her fake date
Homicide
Making it look like suicide
Disappearing tissue samples
What other evidence was trampled?
Finding eavesdropping devices in every room of her house
She wasn't married so it wasn't her spouse
Imagination?
Speculation?
Or true realization?

Premium Member When Your Alone At Home

Eat an apple a day
Drink drink water
Hydrate to lose weight
Eat an apple a day

Don't drink soda
Veggies and fruit
Will help you poop
Don't drink soda

No candy or sugary treats
Rice cakes
Make your taste buds ache
No candy or sugary treats

Walk walk walk
Exercise
Trim those thighs
Walk walk walk

Sleep eight hours a night
A body that rest
Burns fat best
Sleep eight hours a night

Be positive be light
Pounds will shed
If you stay under fed
Be positive be light

Then when your home alone
Lock the doors pull the shades
Raid the pantry of all you crave
When your home alone

Breaking Boundaries 2

It's no discussion or debate 
Same energy I receive I reciprocate
I can no longer allow them to contaminate 
Or simply just manipulate 
My life,family and estate 
They key is to isolate
Eat,sleep and hydrate 
And continue ignoring the hate

Premium Member My Name Is Spring

I push the gate- each year elate,
ending my wait to replay fate.
My roots await to drink, hydrate
and fully sate for full growth rate.

Stems push up straight to levitate
buds that dilate as leaves abate
and calibrate- blossoms create
to activate each full-bloomed trait.

I am your Spring- your loved upswing!
Each tree, a king as branches string
to a wellspring of verdant bling.
I share with zing, my season's fling.

Aft Winter's sting- while lovebirds wing,
our couples cling- soon worshipping
as church bells ring, good wishes sing.
All this I bring- my name is Spring.

The Descent

The Descent

Nature lovers enthralled by forest’s pine green canopies
Leading headway onto hallowed
Golden earthen pathways to the ancient underground playground

The hikers create a silver echo of their own (Hello, hello)
They tread carefully, dropping down
One by one, each party fastened to the other
Reliantly dropping altitude together
Lowering themselves into the tumultuous grey black void

Nearing the enticing smell of fresh white rain
Caught by gargantuan cavernous red-veined leaves
Vermilion chameleons’ frolic splashing in delightful refreshment
On a spiraling ledge on the side of the divine hole

A broader plateau oozing with a strange moldy scent
Lends itself for the hikers to hydrate and rest
As they enjoy the fabled delicacy of the blue black berries
Bursting with the juicy rainbow of sweetness that had sustained prior Adventure seekers

At last, their hundreds of feet downward trek
Has brought them to the hidden nook they had sought and few have accessed
Radiant teal moss covered the open space completely
Like a luxurious royal wall to wall cushy rumpus room carpet
Created by the obstruction of the fiery, orange, yellow, red, power of sunlight
Oh Wondrous nature!
