I am constantly dying of thirst, and you are my water. The difference between a desperate mouthful and a drink drawn from a shaded canteen is immeasurable. You are the source of the Nile; around you, civilizations rise. I come bearing seeds, but without you they remain inert. Bathed in your presence, I am cleansed of my travels. Your kisses fall like droplets on depleted soil, and wherever you touch, something inside me grows anew.

Thirst
I am constantly dying of thirst, and you are my water. The difference between a desperate mouthful and a drink drawn from a shaded canteen is immeasurable. You are the source of the Nile; around you, civilizations rise. I come bearing seeds, but without you they remain inert. Bathed in your presence, I am cleansed of my travels. Your kisses fall like droplets on depleted soil, and wherever you touch, something inside me grows anew.
