THE THIRSTY VESPER 
on those cumbersome moments,
life searches for your favor,
a prolonged sigh 
shrinks
after touching your love, like higher
tides gets relief; on the
sandy shore,
life 
absorbs the coolness of an unique
sense, innermost moisture
gives the birth to
new dreams,
languished body gets back the
passionate sensation,
a thirst wakes up
into the lips 
suddenly,  
vesper looks more beautiful than 
ever - - -
