Best Quench Poems

When wands of beauty spell the core of heart
a rapture gasped and pounded into me
my vision I long to capture in art
with hands of poetry dipped into glee. 

When music flows through the chambers of mind
no sounds heard but steps of the soul in trance
as...

Cold, relentless rain
Pound on heated, fevered skin
Nature seems jealous
Water can not quench, my love
Nor contain this deep yearning

In draining sand I trace the line
the tide has made in bubbles, fine,

where scalloped wavelets sloped in foam,
halt the ocean’s wide roiling roam.

Pale seashells shimmer in bright sun
and tiny crabs sport sideways run;

whitecaps dancing, turquoise to green,
toss at my feet a glossed sea bean.

Solitude, loved...

If my thirst for love, I could quench
my heart would beat in rhythmic sound
and not be saddened, torn in wrench
Happiness would be joy unbound

Hunger to be wanted, sated
if my thirst for love, I could quench.
For eons of time I've waited
Lonely wallflower on a bench

Sorrowful tears,...

Your touch plugs me in,
Lights my body from within,
Fills my veins with liquid light 
Till my dormant heart ignites
To be moulded like blown glass -
An urn to hold this cooling ash....

THE RISING HILLS, THE SLOPES, TO QUENCH MY THIRST.
In the last century, the hopes were little,
Grasses they collected, yellow bananas, they peeled,
To move up the slopes, preparation was fore filled,
Oh the grower of banana trees,
To reach the top - in his absence, one had to...

Now you’re in dark waters, 
Tried to be the puppet master to my mind.
I don’t know why you even bothered,
I’ve just been trying to live my life.
You should have seen there’s no strings on my shoulders.
All is ruined, all that we had.
My heart is still...

In Summer I must be sated
Or my health will be ill-fated
I long for rain from a cloudburst
Only water will quench my thirst

To satisfy my need to slake
A drink of water, I'll partake
It's the liquid I think of first
Only water will quench my thirst

I swim in...

Hold me like you'll never let go;
love me, each time, as if the first.
Shake me and quake me, slake my thirst
Quench this fire-My desire.

Love me each time, as if the first;
relearn my flesh, again, anew.
Discover new ways to excite me;
uncover passion's mystery.

Shake me and quake...

their every heartbeats are for each other
no intake of food
they live on love
they drink each other’s smiles
nurture their love
his, every tender word
her nourishment 
his touch sends shivers up her spine
his thought only of her
she is his dream girl
never did she believed that one day

I move slowly still closer
Melting in your attention to shock hopeful dawn
The shuddering clouds are smiling
Coaxing me to frenzy forward
The roots are growing on me, wrestling amongst each other
Clutching, wanting to become me
Calmly, knowingly...when seen, I hide
Revealing my weakness, my need to please

I am holding...

When it's late at night and sleep can't be found-
when the loneliness walks through to say hello,
     …because I miss you, all I do is close my eyes and you are near.

Softly, you appear as I turn on that song, and...

Through the wet willows, we stumble on 

Right in mid of autumn, perfect days. 

With first breath, the wakeful light of dawn 

A mystique flaming fire rise a blaze 

In the distant horizon, upon 

Hope, this perfect time didn't drift a-ways 

As gray, slow, swirl...

Velvet soft rose-petal red lips,
Honey-slathered promises drip.
Luminous blue star-laden eyes,
Encompass soul-mate realized.
Blossomed kiss lingered in morrow,
Withered dead blossoms of sorrow.
Famished, reaching for sunlight drench,
Withheld desire, lover’s quench....

The love of God is unlimitedly vast
no measure of it can we attain
it’s fathomless in its great depth
no description’s possible from any brain

Almighty God Himself sends it forth
in all His great deeds of kindness
protecting sustaining this earth here
no matter our worsening spiritual blindness

God loves us...
