Long Quenchless Poems

ULYSSES

Full fathom five thy father lies;
Of his bones are coral made;
Those are pearls that were his eyes:
Nothing of him that doth fade
But doth suffer a sea-change
Into something rich and strange.
Sea-nymphs hourly ring his knell:
Ding-dong.
Hark! now...

In times of transition, as we walk a tightrope of hopelessness, the shadow comes to claim us.
The shadow descends, reminding us that there is no way out of the endless darkness.
The shadow screams at the...

Cowardly efforts of a worthless soul
Rages, this low murmur of lazy surf;
Mind and body beaten, bruised, losing control,
An enfeeble struggle of a timeless sleepy curse.  

Surges wave of open independence. 
A quenchless abyss seeking...

The desires within me, the endless ones
Few fulfilled, few unfulfilled
Me, the uncontended, the unhappy 
Still filled with boundless ones.
Who am I? I ask myself
Am I the uncontended one?
Am I the insatiable one?
The love, the lust,...

Farewell, false love, the 
oracle of lies, 
A mortal foe and enemy to 
rest, 
An envious girl, from whom 
all cares arise, 
 a beast with rage 
possessed, 
A way of error, a temple full...

Oh, Lord, imbue me with gratitude and zeal.
Much as the red burst trailed the glistening steel.
As a possible sequel, yielding divinely may reveal.

What if I could eagerly...

Flame of our passionate love,
Irresistible quenchless heat,  
Rapture so divinely sweet,
Eternally we would pair like a dove.

And then in Nature's blissful aura,
Gently glide along the leaf-shrone
Path,  shady trees that line with glamor;
Breezes passing,...

Time was I was a wand'ring star,
With a restless quenchless soul,
Time was I had an unquiet heart,
And from dream to dream I'd roam,

Reach through the glass to where
A thousand suns ripple in the rivers of your hair



Reach through the glass to where
A garden of roses blooms in a moon beneath your eyes


Reach through the glass to where
Earthquakes...

Let me try, spoon-feed me nor ever teach,
My big mouth said, help me reach to my bridge 
Like olden-day gurus who would not preach, 
Help me smooth out if you find a rough ridge 
That...

Resistless, sweet chirping of the first bird at my window
That resembles the quenchless, quest-filled divine vocation.
The dew and the sun that sweeps it are in a friendly show.
Truths, in the forms of blooms and blossoms,...

It barely vanquishes my quenchless spirit of inquiry.
To what exactly reason have I sledded so wildly?
Boasters and swindlers sprang up a treaty vigorously.
People are queuing to sway slated on a promontory.

It's plodding to incite thugs...

Death is dead now in the pleasant lap of the Immortality.
It seems to sleep in peace, not having slept for thus long.
It is tired now after dying so many times, deadly drained.
The horrid Death appears...

Enormous I’m becoming. I am greed.
The neighbor’s car and house and lawn I want.
And even more than that becomes my need.
Know this. If I’m not fed, I’ll then grow gaunt.

Since some can have a void...
