I need you like a blossom needs rain, like the winter ground needs spring-to soothe my parched soul. - Solange nicole
Today words curve around my vision,Stumbling from my parched coreTo soak again those strands of silence. - Phen Weston
Parched by the deprivation of your love for so long made me forget what a cup brimming with love, on my lips, felt like. Everything that now wets it, only wrinkles it with a bland taste. - Abhita Jain
Encouragement from any source is like a drop of rain upon a parched desert. Thanks to all the many others who rained on me when I needed it, and even when I foolishly thought I didn't.(acknowledgements in The P.U.R.E.) - Claire Gillian
