A Rare Refill (2009) Poem by David Joel Rodriguez

My baffled life had begun the very moment I said hi
'Though overstrung by a past tormented drained heart
I was mentally insufficient until you saw me and smiled
and soon to be overwhelmed as a love began to impart...'
I know I was the only one to give in to your aesthetic eyes
Though somewhere inside me remained untouched art.
You supplied me with a new invigorating canvas inside
Which you patiently painted as if playing with your harp

Amazing strokes and gentle swirls leaving me in the sky
Brushing my blushed skin with your alleviating finger tips
Rejuvenating a deteriorated tortured soul left out to dry
until you replenished my core with your graceful lips.
Temperatures seemed low, yet in your arms I was high
Where ever you came, your trip ended my gloomy trip
Your touch, assurance, and solace ensured me a new life
No longer to be a glass of water for others to furtively sip
