She's My Water

she’s my water
sweet
soft
delicious
fluid
nourishing my insides
caressing my outsides
she mixes well with me

she’s my water
i gulp her down
relishing every drop
of what she is

she’s my water
i am thirsty
for her
all she needs to do
is gaze my way
touch me on the hand
stroke my face with her tender heart
and i am quenched

she’s my water
i swim in her
she keeps me afloat
when all around me is stormy

she’s my water
the rain of her being
gently touches my face
again and again and again
each drop of her
bathes me in a most precious way

she’s my water
and i have drank many a well
but now i will drink
no other water but her

she’s my water
we are
thicker than blood
