691 Entries for “thirst”

  1. All I ever want in the summer is a glass of lemonade. Tall, with the sweat on the outside of the pitcher and the lemons sliced, floating, like you’d see in Southern magazine photographs. Yellow like the sun, golden like the color of my youth. Swim in the creek, catch crayfish and chase birds all day, and come home to a mother bringing out freshly made lemonade. When you feel that unwavering August thirst there’s no better joy than that.

  2. thirst

    Metaphorically I have experienced thirst…

    The thirst for knowledge,
    the thirst for love,
    last but not least the thirst for blood.

    I have drunk my fill of knowledge,
    a glass that just refills.

    I have subdued my thirst for blood.
    The drink that makes me ill.

    but the thirst I can not quench,
    is my dying thirst for love.

    For it seems to me,
    to be a crack inside my mug.

  3. Thirst. Thirst. Man’s worst enemy. It makes us feel dead inside. It makes us do horrible things. Like drink urine or cactus juice. Thirst makes man crazy.

  4. What is it to thirst for someone?
    It’s thinking about them all the time.
    They take your thoughts away.
    It’s like them not being there has caused your throat to go dry.

  5. The thirst was crushing him, making his throat and lungs burn with the fire of his own desire as he watched the ocean undulate across the sand. It was forbidden, dangerous. And beautiful. He could never have the glassy surface of the ocean touch his lips, as he could never have her.

  7. The bear stumbled through the desert. It had been there for 3 days, the sun beating down on it. The bear thought of two words: Water and Thirst. They were his enemies. There as no water. And he was thirsty.

  9. in the blink of an eye you could be back between the sheets, quenched. instead you lay there in the dark, not a thought or the stale crumb of a dream between you and the MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT THIRST. The only thing existing, you lay motionless. How do you get so thirsty laying still asleep.

  12. Going fast, so very fast. My lips kiss the air, and I’m grasping for air. I want something more. I have a deep thirst in my throat. I can hardly breathe. I need it, I want it, I can’t wait for it.

  14. There is a dryness in the back of your throat, a scratchy feeling that seems as if it will take over. Suddenly you can think of nothing else but a glass of water. Anything that will pull your mind away from that uncomfortable place.

  15. thirst is different from hunger, though they are related. thirst feels deeper, less optional, more about water and life and things that we cannot live without. thirst is scarier because if we do not slake it we will not make it. we can eat a whole lot of different things, people do eat a lot of things, but there is an elemental substance which is all we need to drink

  16. thirsting for water can be a very important job to fulfill
    thirsting for spirituality is on the same level if not more important
    both mean life or death

  17. Like feeling parched or seeing the sand that falls from an hourglass and desiring. How are you, a person, ever satisfied of your thirst?

  18. I have been running around in the desert all day long trying to capture that pesky dog who got out of the car when all I did was stop to look. Now my thirst is such that if I don’t get a drink soon I will look like a flattened pancake due to dehydration.

  19. As I laid near the well, I could not drink it.
    They guard too long.
    I begged and begged.
    But they laughed and spat.
    No mercy was given to me.
    Now I am dead, and they live in hell.

  21. this sounds like the name of a novel about an artist dying of intellectual thirst. i haven’t read it but there is an image in my mind of a lanky guy walking around with a canvas under his arm and a fedora in 1960’s berlin.

  22. Thirst. White hot, searing, thirst. He craved a cool sweetness to caress his throat. He longed for the relentless fire to stop, while it coursed through his weary veins. He was burning, burning, burning…and still his thirst was not quenched.

  24. and here we are again, she says to me, from the backseat of the car, buckle undone, braids undone. her nailpolish is melting off, she’s scraping it off, nail against nail. coins on the floor, here we are again, I know dear, I know, I’m sorry, but I say it too quiet, the music suffocating us, the dubstep, discotheque she craves, she says it’s like being undersea, the way the rest of the world muddles under the beat, she says

  25. I go to sleep and I die and I wake up and I’m more dead than ever and I drink. I drink drinks innumerable, my thirst is unquenchable, my love will consume us all.

  26. I love soda. Soda is not healthy but it is very good and an ice cold soda quenches my thirst every time!

  27. The sound of liquid sloshing, the dripping of a faucet, that parched feeling you have in the back of your throat. You can make the biggest glass of water, but it doesn’t quench the thirst

  28. The way in which I slake your body’s need for comfort, your emotional stresses of the day, eases my own mind to see you feeling better. Leaving us both relieved and ready for our next demand of the day.

  29. the thirst was immense. she wanted to cry, but it would have wasted the few water her body maintained. her throat was so dry, it felt it was cutting her head form her body, slicing, slicing.

  30. She was laying down, under the bright sunlight. The warmth was so relaxing, the waves were so soothing. “What a beautiful day,” she thought. She slowly sipped her lemonade, curing her thirst on that steaming afternoon at the beach.

  31. Some say that it is best to drink 8 cups of water each day. But the truth is that you don’t need to force yourself to drink so much. Studies show that you are really supposed to drink water (get this) when your thirsty.

  32. There was never anything I wanted more. It was the thing my life revolved around. I needed it more now than ever. The one thing I longed for more than anything in my life. Just one drink.

  33. Thirst.
    What you feel
    Not only when you want to drink water
    But that necessity
    (a feeling)
    Of wanting something
    Intensely
    (Thirsty for you)

  34. i just want to have a boy friend. okay? a FRIEND WHO IS A GUY. UNIVERSE, WHY IS THAT SO HARD?????????????????????????????????????????

  36. Water had never tasted so sweet. To thinking of wanting, wanting anything more than this water, was absurd. Who could be happier than I at this moment.

  37. The drive for something new. To want a fresh experience. To quench the desire to shit out a hamburger. Yeah! Milk is white. So is cum.

  38. Chris watched doug finish up with the mowing but he couldn’t resist guzzling down the rest of the water quenching his thirst leaving Doug with extreme cottonmouth.

    “Hey Chris, anything left in that bottle?

    “No”

    “Jerk!”

    “What’s there to do tonight, anything?”

  39. i was doing s 5k yesterday and its funny how thirst takes over your whole body. it doesnt only bother your throut but yourself. while I was running i wanted to give up 3 times but after i had water on my hands i felt much better! I didnt drink it buti splash my face with it and it was like i had drank a gallon of water fill with energy! I didnt drink it but a wash my mouth with it and spit it out and it felt like I wasnt thirsty at all.
