Infrequent Lake
Such a brief scatter
As a showers rain drops
Succour the parched earth
In its delirium of wilted heat
You fall on me a bright cascade
Cool balm of flow
To knock the dusty mantles at their feet
And for mere moments
I am again washed clean
Just a light banter of new replenishment
Nectar rumbles sweet slow
The continual inter link
Sweetens all the spaces left in-between
I feel myself shuck off the hard dry clay
The visage and armouries of my solitude
And for the brief scatter
Of your falling rain
I feel again as if I am holding you
Where on the sip of exposure
Beneath a brittle blue heated sky
The taste of dew
That languid and soft succulence
Of you, cools
Crystal tip of my waters edge
My all to infrequent visited lake
Should I burn for the years, the hours and the days
Just to dip my soul
Inside you
