BREACH


I am drunk on thirst,

breathless for the wind
of touch upon my face,

for the waters of your love
to rain down,

a waterfall flooding
the parched desert
of my throat;

a throat dry of words,
supply stemmed by a heart
sore-scorched with longing –

a longing for passion
that brings with it a peace

like the return of wild geese
on a rising spring tide.

Passion is a luxury these days. So many people have no clue how to respect passion. They don't want to slow down enough for savoring. I'm glad you have.

The need and longing are clear in this powerful and outstanding write, Kate. Your second stanza sets it all up and your follow-through knocks one out of the park. I love this poem! Happy Easter to you and yours, Kate.
Take care,

Once more to the beach in your waders dear friend.
Have you tried lockets for this condition?
Drunk on thirst, that's a first kinda juxtaposition thingy.
Drink deep from the passion well.

Bar-th!!!!

Kate,

A beautifully mesmerizing write, a deep hunger for love and acceptance. Look no further than here at AD--you have many friends willing to give you the love and words you need.

What a soft and tender plea for the pleasures needed and lived for as a spirited human being. For me, it sneaks up on the wings of those wild geese. This work is pure heart-felt poetry. - Bill

Oi! Burnside, it's pronounced 'Bath' not 'Bar-th', tut! Southerners! LOL! I see'd wot you 'rit on Peter's post...LOl. Totally agree by the way. So to business, get up here and I'll give you a big Northern Hug. Love this little drop of passion, it just oozes off the tongue and leaves one feeling rather weak at the knees...Ahem! must dash dear Kate LOl.

This poem and the thoughts perceived from it are wonderful Kate. You manage to stir the senses of the reader and allow them to draw their own feelings into your prose. Well written and a lovely theme.
