Best Parched Poems
Parched
Doused by a cloud, Earth
Must drink quickly as she’s parched;
It’s days between clouds.

Like Parched Earth Consuming the Rains
I would happily drown within the sparkling pools of your eyes..
Your hair, damp, falling upon silken shoulder..
Our senses alive, afire..
My body craves your touch, velvet hands gripping..
The delicate curve of your breast presses against my chest..
Your mouth, hungry, inviting me to explore..
It is a feast as our lips dance,
like parched earth consuming the rains...TAH...

Spooning With Parched Palms
SPOONING WITH PARCHED PALMS
a banquet of butterflies flutter ~
by her seaswept hair so bonnie. ~
sunshine and freckles fly free from the sky, ~
illuminating blue eyes, ~
dotting her suntanned skin. ~
a sailboat serenely knocks against the chiseled shore. ~

My parched skin quenching the thirst,

The Parched Pathway
Insolent and ebullient ,
The thistles and thorns proliferate
In the wake of the roses' spectacular demise -
ruthlessly cut down in its prime
Eyes misty , yearning for the vivacity of yesteryears
Reminiscence of glory days
Paling into oblivion in the light of hostile reality
Shoulders weary from propping up the universe's punitive weight
Smiles contrived and wry ,
Dismal...

Parched the Hearts In, Soiled Dreams
I kept telling her that I loved her....
But it was pretty *ucked up you know ?
We quit our day job, and night as a matter of fact
Just to spend time ever winding with her yet, I doubt very seriously
That she even can grasp what true love is really all about; that makes two for, neither...

Night Herd
Past a peaceful day out Western Trail way,
Our lowing herd settled on coarse sand bars.
We hands bunched under prancing prairie stars,
Once clean grub tins and cups were put away,
For tall yarn desserts, dance, and campfire songs.
Lit by burning buffalo chips and sage,
Our campfire blazed hot, challenging the dark,
Holding at bay the prairie wind’s chill bark.
Night...

Parched Lips
Before I write a single word,
I will put on my suit of armor.
So that you wont see what's hiding,
way down deep inside of me.
Anyway,
I have so much to say.
But you're not here,
and you're so confident that I wont care.
All I have left to be,
are pieces of me on the floor.
I have so many flat words,
that...

Parched Memory From 1969
Pedaling along
a rocky road,
a dusty road,
a hot and sunny road.
Pedaling past
dry, rocky fields,
dry, dusty fields,
hot and sunny fields.
Surprised to...

Reservoir
Reservoir
Filled with quiet secrets
Often hidden from our sight
There's stillness to the surface
In depth, there's strength and might.
People gather and are drawn to
The impressive stature, surely
There is peace around this entity
In spite of walls, so burly
Made by man it may be
But a lesson lies within..
There's a sense of holy presence...

Rhyme
Poison To the Parched
My heart's secrets
Spill as viscous substance
The seal split
Purity spoilt
From your poison in my veins.
Slowly I sip
From tainted ambrosia
Interludes of ecstasy
Amidst a transient
Shimmering surface.
I swallow you like sugar
Tempting and exquisite
Fleeting pleasure quenched
You rot my insides out
As I plead for more.
Rebecca .A. Huxley...
