Best Hydrate Poems
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.

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.
A Collaboration with Silent One.
Thankyou S.O. for this opportunity.It was great collaborating
with you.
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
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.
have faith no fear
my mate lives here
take D clean sink
you, me safe drink
big dope spread fear
no hope no cheer
virus command
behind us wash hands
hydrate end now
good fate bad vow
get sleep no hugs
or weep sad mugs
bad news each day
sends blues please pray
stay free
like me

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.

hydration, requisite, precipitation, impermeable, invigorate, crystallization
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.

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!

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.
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?
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
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
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
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!
Sunshine Williams
