Wetness

wet
like a rain forest in a monsoon
refreshed and clean -
moisture in one form or another
is the blood of the earth
and what is blood but water carrying
nutrients in the human body

wet
like ur desire waiting for
fulfillment -
without appropriate moisture
u are unresponsive, not ready
to bring forth another life,
fertility is impossible without wetness,
a medium and component
of life

wet
like the juice of fruit and the nectars
they produce that tantalise the buds
and set the heart aright

wet
like the tears that trickle
down my cheeks when i remember
kissing ur moist delectable lips and
caressing ur beaded body

how am i to forget u evey time it rains
or i take a walk by the sea,
but need i forget?
no-one escapes their experience
so rather than lament a loss
i marvel at a crystal drop of dew
on a blooming crimson rose
in my garden of everlasting love
