Best Refreshment Poems

Titillating drops of pleasure fall,
Showering down, halting tension's thrall.
Soothing warmth massages, eases pain,
Dispatching stressful remnants down the drain.

Caressed by warm pulsating stream,
I surrender myself to lazy dreams.
Imagining I'm in a far off place,
Wrapped in serenity's sweet embrace.

Floral fragrance with mist pirouettes,
Arousing senses, reviving zest.
Scrubbing away...

Deluge of raindrops descend 
The thirsty earth drinks....

when Eros marries
Eos you get a nuance

Presenting to the emergency room, patient "BB,"
a dad who swallowed a snow globe carelessly.

Out of ALC, voices crying, "YOLO,"
PO, he took a big gulp of fantasy snow.

NAGI, his stomach churned immediately.
He could hear little elves dancing with a BEG.

Brought to the ER unconscious with HBP,
HAGMA,...

One 
pure dew
drop rests on
a tall blade of
grass occupied by 
a ladybug,
who takes a
dainty
sip.

If a man could drink
with his eyes,
then you are all
the refreshment
I could ever want or need.
Your skin is the color
of my coffee in the morning.
And as I kiss you with each sip.
It goes without saying...
I take my coffee black.
Savoring my second sip,
Caressing the surface 
of...

An invitation to revive 
To the heavy labor of life.

A time to sit down and relax, 
Drink the water of well that never thirst, 

The soul to be silence, 
The body to be rested to 
Deal in God to be cleans.

The mind to feed in...

(for all asthmatic patients)
The heart is the engine
                  Of the body
The flesh is the bonnet

Some will say that a little poison,
let's say two or three drops
of crystalline, snow flake decorated cruelty,
in the pure water of affection,
should not be minded.
"Drink down!  Drink down, my dear-
for fear you will be left behind!"
And yet, in time,
the haggard look of slowly dying
sneaks...

She, in looking to sate her desires,
Bade me come to quench her summer fires.
The treat white and dreamy
On her tongue was creamy.
Ice cream man, I’ll come as she requires....

It’s been so long
I’ve come so far
But I start again
To see where we are

There are too many sides
So much to lose
Too much lying
So much abuse

For something worth dying
We must love it a lot
But what is this thing
There’s no time to stop

Think of an answer
Think of...

To the beach I went one hot, hot day,
In search of the cooling ice blue froth!
Refreshment beckoned in the sea spray,
And I lingered until skies turned mauve.

In search of the cooling ice blue froth,
I took a sunshine stroll to the beach,
And I lingered until skies...

Sidewalk hot, 
you could fry an egg. 
Arizona summer heat, Phoenix roast factory. 
Sweat pouring off my brow like Noah's flood. 

Sky, light turquoise, tweaked into a 
sun radiant reflective furnace. 
Shimmering down alleyways in unison with overburdened air conditioners. 
Mirage pools in the distance...
