WATER

You take me away
From thirst
Every drop
Is life

I need you forever
You are my water
That keeps me alive

Your love-
My life

I like the vivid-imagery you've come up with.
I re-read these lines: "You are my water.. that makes me alive" twice a time and came to know that if you replace the word "makes" with "keeps" then the line could express more what you wanted to.
e.g "You are my water... that "Keeps" me alive". In case of "dream", you may use the word "make", but here your poetry's 'bout "water" then I think, the world "keep" looks good. However, "makes" ain't sound bad. It still looks good with the line. I enjoy reading your poetry.

Thank you. I like reviewers like you who tries to improve my piece.
I think "keeps" is better than "makes". But I have used "keep" in the first line. Can you suggest a line that can replace "You keep me away" so that I can use the line "that keeps me alive"?

Hope you respond to this request. Thank you so much and God bless you!

[Adam Adams]

You're welcome.
Yea sure. You may use "take" in the place of "keep" so the line goes like this: "You take me away". I use "take" because, in love, the heart's left thirst - In The thirst of love so, if you use 'take', the first para of your poetry'll go like this:

"You take me away
from thirst
Every drop's life
that we discovered."

However, if add extra recipe to your poetry... then it'll go like this:

"You take me away
from thirst
Every drop's life.
We discovered."

"I need you forever
You keep me alive
You be my water - a savor
Your love - My life."

I added extra recipe only to make your poetry running good with flow. You may exclude my extra words. Your poetry's already read with flow & written with very deep thoughts. Liked the sense of love that you've pondered into your feelings/thoughts.

[Dhaye]

Okay, thanks. I really love the flow of my poem...just like the flow of water. LOL.

I will take your suggested line "You take me away" so that I can use "keep" in the second verse.
Thank you so much. I really appreciate your response/help.
God bless!

Your welcome Dhaye

Its a lovely testament to love Dhaye - with the most basic of sentiments - I dont just love you, it says - I require you for life itself. Very powerful statements in such a small write.
I loved it. Thanks for sharing this. :)
