an ode to my lemonade (loveless)

because you quench my thirst

even though you are constantly sour;

for you arrived right when i needed you

when the heat of my enemies

turned into a fire on my skin.


because you are a perfect concoction of sweet and sour

and you create a heavenly convection current within me

that makes me feel light headed,

yet absolutely smitten.


because you nourish me 

with your loving flow of liquidity within my body

to make me feel complete, 

unlike the others.


because you were there standing in the heat

with beads of sweat dripping 

stirring passion and a feeling of pride

i had never felt before.
