I am sitting in the bar writing this. I started at the Sir Francis Drake, and I will do a tour of duty in all the great bars of the city before morning. There is a storm outside, a fresh wind and a choppy see from my voyage. But the earth isn't quite big enough for me tonight. I am now at The Globe and plan to proceed to The Moon and The Stars and then make a journey to all the planets, ending in the constellation of Venus - anything so as to be closer to the pleasure zone that is yours, all yours.

It's not my fault I am here. It would start to rain as we were waiting for the bus, and those stupid feelings of mine, hauled me into this bar. It is a dark, cold, confounded hole, fit only for desperadoes and down-and-outs. The cold outside made the warmth of the wine work faster on me.

I wish you could see me now as I am definitely not myself anymore. I'm a much pleasanter, warmer, wittier person than when cold sober and I am sure that I could win your love when I am like this.

The wine hisses upon my heart. Cupid has fired a dart into my liver. I am asking the barman for ice to cool my fevered thoughts. Ice! Clear and cold and definitely melting, just like you. The idiot has brought me olives instead. This is a damnable place. A hideous world, I wish I were out of it and in heaven, by which, of course I mean in your arms. Ah, if only they were bottling your bath water - then there'd be something to slake this incredible thirst! I'd close my eyes, sip you slowly, and let you slide down my throat.

This is my constant prayer, wether I am drunk or sober.

The sun beats down,
And heats tempers
Glaring in eyes
Boiling blood
The breeze rustles trees
And teases our sweaty labours
Until we find refuge in the shade,
Then work again

I don't want an umbrella
I just need someone
To hold my hand and walk
With me through the rain

I need no pain killer
I just want someone
To stay ,one to talk
To till I'm past the pain

I don't want a fairy tale
I just pray for someone
with whom our story'll end well
Someone to make me love again

wasn't hungry when i cried
i was thirsty at my birth
so mama gave me milk
cause it's whiter than water
...
wasn't hungry when i cried
i was thirsty in your arms
so you gave me slaver
cause it's thicker than water
...
and they say water is life
guess you gave me better
when i was thirsty

Fill my cup
     with your scent
   Let me drown
           in your essence
               I'm dying
           of thirst
And you're the only
      sustenance
On which
      I can thrive
   And finally
        *Feel alive
You think you swept me off my feet, but I spotted you first
Don't think that you are special, I just need to quench my thirst

You were the least repulsive guy in a bar filled with ****
You don't have to buy me a drink, you just have to make me ***

Let's get out of here, I've already taken care of the tab
Just go with me to my house, I will even pay the cab

You want to hug me and kiss me but I just wanna *****
If sparks fly around us it's not because of you

I'm looking down on you even though you're on top of me
I'm sorry, but tomorrow you'll be as forgotten as can be

Don't whisper nice things in my ear, I don't even wanna hear it
And don't try to cuddle me after, I just wanted you to tear it

You're nothing but flesh to me so don't ask me for my number
Just be happy if I'm nice enough to let you stay and slumber

I might give you another round if you're doing things right
But do not fall in love with me, this is only for one night

If you can't give me satisfaction, if you can not make me shout
You better get up, get dressed and get the **** out

Poetry is like fresh water
Quenching the thirsty soul
Once placid lake, the heart
Every word creates a ripple
Moving me to the core
My feelings and emotions
Travel with the soft wavelets
Arousing my fascination
Sweet as nectar
The creativity pond
Plunging in poetry everyday
To taste the fresh sweetness
Of poetic water
Being on this island
Surrounded by the words
Where I can take a swim
In any weather
An eternal source of joy
Where I can drown
To rejuvenate myself

Two sailors navigate a turquoise sea
To stay afloat we made a brittle boat
The ship rides low: we’ve got buckets of glee.
It’s made from sails of laughter, planks of hope

The boldest storm can put away its thunder
Our rolling sails will last through coldest night
The stars will turn their icy orbs and wonder
How we manage to float along alright

But,

Green ocean waves themselves have turned cliche
And god, I keep on dreaming ‘bout that prow
My bottom-dwelling thoughts ruin the day
I want to wet my freezing feet somehow.

So,

I’ll sink the ship and dredge the empty sea
Because I'm so ******* thirsty.
I've been playing around with fixed forms. Also, I am miserable.

As we see the planet earth is embedded
within the solar system
though the other planets are his brother
moon is his lover
and the sun is his father
but his Atlantic still very thirsty,  
not ever be satisfied
even today he seems insufficient light

Yesterday he wanted some water from Venus
but tonight he wishes to borrow light from moon
yet the sun is still emitting his light for his son,
even though the planet does not know
his bro Venus has not a single drop of water
and his dear moon has no light at all

It starts with coffee then it spins out of control
My thirst has taken a hold only one sip is never enough
It don't matter if it is Kool Aid or ice tea you will regret inviting me
I am Thirsty can't you see, my thirst is ravenous
You might think my bladder is cavernous


I will drink all the Hot Chocolate in sight, believe me do not doubt
I move on to Lemonade, In a large amount, sorry that I drank the whole pitcher, I was just so thirsty
My eyes have seen soda, that is a sparkling delight, I'm sorry that I lost all control, the soda just tasted so good
I am still thirsty , I ask you what is left, "You tell me just water"
I say that is fine; I think to myself as thirsty as I am good thing it is not wine.
I drink the water it tastes good when I am thirsty
I need to caution you my friends, If the lake or river near you suddenly disappears it could be because of me being Thirsty
I wrote this thinking about how my friends have teased me about my thirst.
