Short Quenchless Poems

When I saw her
On top of stairs
I was dazzled
By the intense light
She radiated.
In hers eyes
Shined the fire
Of passion.
It was a fire 
Quenchless
Which gleamed
In hers figure....

Brilliant lit, but no light
Divine, souls breach.
And but as quick, quenchless, to mock
Mercy's outreach.

No serene-faced seraph's
All fears dispel!
Its counter-look! Of violence.
Reflecting Hell....

Flames of quenchless fire
brightens the morning dawn
Languid shadows cast about. 

The morning breeze spreads
a fragrant scent
Flowers awaken from peaceful slumber
revealing untamed majestic grandeur....

lust
seeking
completion
irrational
selfish in her search
caring for no one else
she goes after what she wants
leaving sad people in her wake
unappeasable and determined
she’s always quenchless and unsatisfied...

This quenchless thirst for
Your look
Lock in embrace
Passionate kiss
Our gaze
Conversation
Song
Dance
Relaxation
Is what has been preserving me...
Or else 
This life of mine
Love for existence
Desire for living
Yearning for finding meaning
Could have ended abruptly all together...!

'...with quenchless canvasses of twisted fire' - Mervyn Peake


Your vision was a beacon
gracing us with golden sheen,
your heart was dark and heavy
with redemption rarely seen.

You plumbed the incongruities 
of faithfulness and fear,
you challenged life's inequities
so often with a tear

of sadness in your dream-dimm'd eyes
and shades of anguish too,
this world was never meant
for one as beautiful as you....
