Dear New Poet:
Then I'm your man,
your very own
Northern star,
one leg up of a
3 legged stool,
upon which all,
we, enthroned poets,
the world-over,
do rule
the honor you
bequeath me
to be,
a first follower,
your very own
first responder,
it, cannot be
disdained
nor
diminished
this instance,
this birth,
a novice revival,
heart transplant,
makes it
the sweetest blessing
to be the first—
let us be
the quencher
of a desert thirst so long
in the parching,
the throat burning,
by a desert sojourning,
of a now ending
forty times
four hundred years
so come to me!
message me a message,
find me a find,
your poem fine,
so now we vow,
our embrace will
ne’er be broken
give me this
honorific!
let us together
be terrific,
raise our glasses,
with arms entwined
toasting you and
all that mind and
breasted chest of yours,
full bursting from
its future~contains,
of which,
its full release,
brings a fuller life
for us both
I am a father.
I am a grandfather.
I am a First Follower.
and a First Responder,
for all who needs a leg up,
so step upon my heart,
it be but a first step upon a
ladder with no top, no end ensighted
my legs are as old as time, but,
measure me not by the rings and
the metered scales of gray hair aging,
shock of white, a cain mark, wizard-wizened
but
by the muscles
of my deep affection,
the solemnity of this,
my irrevocable promise
this,
the blessing
we both make and earn,
when you write,
and while we wait,
in quiet attendance -
for all of your good works,
your kept promises
Blessed
are You Lord our God,
Ruler of the Universe
who has given us life,
sustained us until now,
***allowing, allying, and
alloying***
the treader of treacherous waters,
reader, writer, swimmer,
to reach, meet, embrace
and greet this day,
this new born poem,
with hallelujahs
whispering and shoutings
together,
as one
in one, of one,
one

Take me away
To where only happy music plays
And the worries go away
Take me to that place.
Where there's only light
And no more fights
Where only a dream
Is all I could see.
Conquering that new horizon
Where all we are thriven
Is that quencher
Take me on a adventure.

Those who cross, this nighttime terror, will be sure to know his name,
From ocean blue, to Timbuktu, the ghost of the man is to blame.
He rides upon, a howling steed, he sets women's hearts aflame,
He will dismount, only to pay no heed, to the life, the gods call, 'game'.
Beware, oh Bandit, do not pierce, the eyes of the open believer,
For what you have seen, on the journey of one, has made thy soul, cleaver.
Hated still, the tainted will, of the man who rides, in the palm of despair,
Points his fingers to the sky, in faith, that the heel of truth will be there.
The bandit will leave less on hands and feet, when he comes through,
Yet, he will leave more than tears, when with your ****** he must make do.
So true is his arrow, nailing to the tree, the reigns which he has overcome,
Out of sight, he is a patriot to the desires of his heart, serving no one, but one.
Where will you go next, bandit, what treasures will you next seize?
What of the riches in your heart, crucified by forgotten responsibilities?
He searches, this bandit, for the one elusive key to his caged soul,
As if it were on race ahead of himself, always out of reach or toll.
Aghast! He halts in treasure cove, at odds with the sight before him.
What layeth on the ground, is a sight that attempts no boredom.
Here! Is a sight for eager eyes, here! Is the quencher for desire.
That which is in front of him, will extinguish his mind's wild fire.
One foot, in front of the other. As if he had no longer the ability to walk.
Made the bandit, his way over. To the treasure that made him gawk.
It lay in fragile casing. It had a lustrous stare.
Even though it was alluring, it should have made the bandit beware.
But, oh! He was too hasty. For the jewel, evidently tasty,
Incited him to grasp it firmly, like a gluttonous man upon pastry.
What was it, in the cave? The treasure that could powerfully ensnare?
Oh child, I cannot tell you, for fear, that you will go there.

too many nights
spent alone
too many weekends
wasted at home
i need something new
i need an adventure
my heart is thirsty
be my quencher
so take my hand
and lead me somewhere
show me something
and nothing can compare
take me somewhere thrilling
adrenaline pumping
or bone chilling
there is no other person
that i'd rather be with
not much to say
you just gotta believe it
just being with you
is an adventure itself
better than reading that book on the shelf

A Town
Short journey
To blue bird oasis
Sky and earth kiss
Whiskey distilled
Tasty brewed concoctions
Groovin' on a flip side
Village life resides
Divine estates
Pillars of beauty
Garden stroll
Delicate flowers seen
Fragrant herbs of green
Historic hall
Blue light
Glowing every night
Sunsets glimmer on water ways
They walk a trail
Near a bridge of history
And watch a step on a track
Paddle the moonlight
They come back
Tranquility or venture
Life’s thirst quencher
History in a town
Signs observed
To be found
All part of
Dynamic and preserved

Filthy, tainted
Fouled and soiled
Yes, I’m contaminated.
I’ m a thirst-quencher
There’s a surfeit feeling
Not from me,
But from Donor
Of the manna of grace
The ultimate glass-owner.
I had no powers
No muscles
To settle each beat.
The sea and the saltwater
Both were unalterable
I was sprinkled
With another name
Then, I am Brave.
Father, it was You who let me accept the things I can’t change & it was You who injected courage within me to change things I can. Thank You for the wisdom you gave for me to know the difference. Father, thank You for the life and for my renewal today. I am blessed to have You with me. In Jesus name, Amen.

It was meant to be-
I was meant to be yours
Pride was never going to be our ally,
For we would thirst for each
other sans all ego,
You- like the barren earth,
Me- like the desperate raindrop,
One, in dire need of a quencher,
The other, homeless, searching for shelter,
We were meant to pine for unison,
We were meant to wander
without lover to hold our hand
so together we could get lost,
and find ourselves.
It was meant to be-
Me needing you,
You needing me,
To live, to breathe, to matter,
to be

he walked into the room with his head held highly, he figured he could gloat and charm his way into every single room, but for me he was already like a single drop of rain after 43 days of heat, he was quench and I was thirst.

*You are my forever,
You're the dancer in my heart
& the air I take...
You are my forever
You're the mist off the ocean
& the salt in my sweat...
You are my forever,
You're the cries of my passion
& the sweetness in my dreams...
You are my forever,
You're the laughter in my tears
& the quencher of my fears...
I could continue,
but for now
this is all
until
I get back on my PC
&
my thoughts once more
overflows
with words of
eternal love--
like my soul does for
YOU*
**FOREVER **

One, it was blissful, innocent
full of strange adventures,
a reality that smelled so like cinnamon
Oh, what a thirst quencher
as he satiated my desires
Two, we cave in our lives
grieving for the first time
Trying to forge a friendship in this dive,
a leap of faith to try
for all we see is each other
Three, a kiss to remember him by
we spend our day in an endless summer
See, this is a beautiful night
but this is just the start to a series of heartbreaks
Four, we are at our prime
exchanging secrets messages and secrets
Like teenage years that we missed
falling in love
Five, it’s a test of separation
Without the attention
I’m lost, lonely and frustrated
How is he the only one who can fulfill this decadence?
Six, we fight a war
Deciding what is worth and what’s not
reading messages that hurt
risk getting heartbroken the third time
Giving up so much for him, I don’t want to think of it as a mistake
Seven, love is just a realization
Breaking the bond feels like the perfect thing
a nagging feeling fills my chest
Telling me that I’ll regret it
leaving him like that
Eight, a week without each other
Strangers without a word to pass
as if no memories had been made,
no true words are spoken until pride is put down
Nine, we try to heal ourselves
Salvaging a relationship that had broken
a last date to make things perfect once more
It was more than perfect as we danced in the dark
Ten, friendship is blooming
the relationship is dying
Change is inevitable and I know what needs to be done
In turn, we fight, fight, fight
Eleven, we see each other for the last time
Say forever goodbyes
smile not because it’s over but because it happened
Accept that we will never be
remember forever that we were once

The mirage
just as i reach out to grab,
and its just not there
like the image in the desert
Disappears into thin air
From a distance it looks inviting
The ultimate quencher of my thirst
Only to come upon it
And see that it's dispersed
Sometimes I can't tell if
It's from my eyes or from my heart
That tricks me in to thinking
It's an angels work of art
It seems always at a distance
Or an arms length away
That Mirage of love I seem to chase
That's much to my dismay
Just once I'd love to catch up
With that image that I see
And finally settle down
And be together happily

you’ll cross the bridge
when you get there
meet that new city
like getting to know
a new friend or lover
grab its trendy deli
a new taste
or quencher of thirst
wander through
its long roads
memorize its ends and curves
say your first hi’s and hello’s
leave footprints
on its heart
but wherever your feet
tell you to go that far
i hope your mind and soul
remind you that
with me
it’s always home

I stand on the front porch with parched lips
Awaiting your arrival home
Recalling the sway of your hips
I stand on the front porch with parched lips
As you drove away my heart dipped
Thinking of you, out there to roam
I stand on the front porch with parched lips
Awaiting your arrival home

My lips wandered
In search for a quencher
To this selfish shameful thirst
But it couldn't get anywhere
Because it realized then
Where it must only belong to,
To that future.

We are not related by blood
But our bands keep us one
It's started with a simple bumps
A shake of our hands
And together we stand
Our journey being a brother
Begun when i miss the real one
Blood is thicker than water
But you're a quencher of missing one
I thank our almighty GOD
For giving genuine person
That i could treasure forever
Oh my brother!

Our plans for a baby still have me begging baby please stay with me, we can fix this. But we both knew our love was twisted.
I poisoned us Klon after **** and my subconscious mind knew I was a ticking time bomb.
But I couldn't abandon our intertwined love for the world, people and adventure and I knew you were my thirst quencher.
And at the time I knew your irresistible wide smile was keeping me alive so I wrapped around you like a morning glory and suffocated both of us until we were dead inside.
And at our darkest times when we were only existing and not living I still felt the flame for you when we started kissing.
You would light me like a match when you moaned in my ear and the flame would last until you came, then suddenly go out and we would both be like deer in headlights, not knowing which way to take our relationship it would be day to day where you wanted to go and I wanted to stay, and visa versa but I knew I was the one to blame.
But month after month I would blame the pills I was poppin' as I popped them. And I could see your hope in our relationship die as I chased my pills with ***** and ***** with *** And baby I don't blame you, you knew you had to run. Because you realized the ticking time bombs and the count down was almost done.
I shattered your heart as I shattered the bottles. And now I can't even look you in the eye because I realize all the times I made you cry.
And my hope for a baby still has me begging baby please come back to me.
