from within

i am wet
in my own waters
i am drenched
by my own rains

my petals sodden
with my own dewing
i'm a river
nourished by its own streams

i am saturated
in my affections
satiatied
by my own love

i find baptism
in my own fire
i'm deeply warmed
by my own flame


what could there be
of greater pleasure
than artesian wells
flowing from within

This one here is simply delicious...even if you chosen to use "wet" all by itself
