Refreshment Poems

Refreshment

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.

Premium MemberAfternoon Went Swimmingly

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 turned mauve.
Often heart's desires are within reach.

I took a sunshine

Premium MemberSnow Globe Refreshment

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, and tachypnea, unfortunately.

A CT scan revealed a kidney infection.
MDs dispensed

Heat

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 ethereal, 
wavering on blistering roads. 

Sounds are deadened by oppressive

Premium MemberAll the Refreshment

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 your softness.
You’re a one of a kind sensation
a refreshing rejuvenation.
For

Refreshment

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 God's words 
To inhale the beauty it brings.

The thoughts to

Road To Refreshment

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

Premium MemberLadybug's Refreshment

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

Premium MemberFlowing Refreshment

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 all dirt and stress,
I emerge relaxed, at peace, refreshed.

A tear in a cloud
Deluge of raindrops descend 
The thirsty earth drinks.

Mourning Refreshment

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 in lines across the face,
it snaps from sleep at the

Refreshment of the Mind

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 it fast
Think of a use
Then make it last

I travel forever
Until
