The Thirst

I would call you a cool glass of water

I'm not going to because, your so much more

Your a tall glass of Georgia peach ice tea

Condensation drops forming,

from the dying summer heat

The curves of your glass glisten and highlight

rogue rays of sunlight,

sneaking past spaces in the live oak trees

Your each ice cube that cools my lips,

leaving sweet secrets tangled on my tongue

No wonder I find myself thirsty all the time

claiming dehydration,

just to have another sip
