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...

   a blushing bloom seduces

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. ~

Raindrops seep into
My parched skin quenching the thirst,
For that hydration....

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...

Parched Leaves

Parchment of the grove,
Soft wind caresses the trees:
Frail embellishment....

Premium Member 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...

Premium Member 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...

Premium Member 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...

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...
