Only You Quench my Thirst

Parisab

For my thirst to quench

In the abundance of summer

The treasure possessed by your presence

Your smile is a pearl yet undiscovered

 

I forgot to smell the flowers

I said farewell to last summer

I bowed to the crown of autumn

Just to run to the arms of winter


Let me savor the taste of this wine

Since I’m crazed from the search for you

Your smell, your touch, feels the same

Our destiny is to be remembered 


In the dusty and busy stumping

When there’s no tension noticed

No attention’s paid to the gluttony of the flesh , before the awareness of the vines turning to dust

    It’s exact. The pleasure or place to find privileged rest that has a value path exponential, cuz it can be unspoken but the knowledge that the place your n cannot be located easy w any certain plan and that satisfies, it gifts knowing smiles and breathing and tomorrow and even yesterday is easier cuz of this place you stand and rely w no pressure. Then though that other stuff you mention, that May first be described as separate and not main agenda , is almost happenstance and is suddenly more gold by multitudes than the silver that made you smile. Windfall please , is yours unplanned, for once important stuff falls in the right side of unintended consequence.
    WOW ! your writing is so darn good all that from my brain was born. And it had somehow had to be like that.

      Thank you O for your grasp for subtleties, It’s amazing that you noticed how I go to disorder to order and back-it was intentional in the second stanza to change to symmetrical metrics-Such is the manic outpouring of emotions in this piece-I would have not cared to justify my choices in this poem, but your meticulous and gracious visit allowed for my explanation-

        How cool is that? And it’s a comfy place fir one of the most abused and misapplied cliche’ retort!

          best thing in life, we sip
          to make last,
          winery's of our dreams
          we seek
          in our everyday reality
          taste-tasting
          till that one perfect blend
          of rich n fruity
          dances on our tongues
          and soothes
          those bruises in our hearts
          making-up
          for everything else, as finally
          we can
          let ourselves drink, heartily
          knowing
          we have found that individual
          making us feel
          safe enough, to get drunk
          on love...

            • Bella Shepard

              The seasons of our lives seem so fleeting, the illusion of time so mystifying, that which we would treasure slips from our grasp so readily, how can we hope to possess. Beautifully written my friend!
