1. Quench my thirst, my friend,
With a draught from the gentle cup,

2. Show me, for I am parched - do not
Quench me with little.

3. Go on, do not keep it secret,
Every secret comes from my confidant.

4. Take me where we met
At the blessed dawn,

5. Disregard the silence -
Our whispers are the murmuring of streams.

6. If our steps seem lost
To the perplexed, they are not demeaning.

7. Know that I love you,
I am no fickle youth,

8. I have not turned away some of my passion
In weak submission,

9. Weigh me down with all your love,
You are all comfort to me.

10. O poem where
Its letters are my pulse, my descent,

11. Pour out the meanings -
Into my heart, do not waver,

12. Wondrous to me, is the wine
At night it is my friend,

13. The inebriation of poetry is a downpour
Begun when goals are reached,

14. An inebriation not for sale
Rather for the impossible.
