She Brings Me Water
Out on the fence line, hot work
She brings me water
Water, they say, is life
Precious, natural, resourseful
She brings me water
Water is thicker than blood
And indeed, the covenant of marraige
Outweighs family
She brings me water
Water is polar
Charged positive and negative
Manic and stoic
She brings me water
Water is wet
Not alone but as a companion
Takes two, a wetter and a wettee
She brings me water
Water is blue and cool
A balance for red and hot
What she is and I am not
She brings me water
She brings me balance
She brings me companionship
She brings me love
She brings the outer edge
She brings a covonant
She brings life
She brings me water

So nice. Really like the repetition and the various characteristics of water, how you build off them to flesh out this relationship.
This really got me to thinking about water — and marriage. I like the extended metaphor and the use of repetition.
Love the rhythm and sweet message.
Wonderfully put together.
Gave me the feels.
Thank you for this one.
Love the connection between water, love, marriage, life and all the things – thought of Quasimodo and Esmeralda.
I think this is a beautiful poem
