Lost in Gods radiance,
Abundant nature,
In feminine form 
Tempts me with desire.

Hungry eyes bewitched
By the exotic 
Thirsts for the divine
So she can be mine?

I seek perfection
Let her follow me....

beneath glass stars
where dew of forest thirsts twice,
            a sea of roses --
reflects our kisses fueled 
            by night’s hunger; we  both burn

My garden
It thirsts for water
It cries out for nourishment
My garden is me, you’re the water
I need you more than the sun
So never leave me
Here, alone

the paths we take,
the thirsts we slake,

the embers fan the fire...

A flower thirsts 
for water pure. 
A quenching drink..
rain-showers cure. 
Beads of life..
Dripping petal.
Drench the soil.
Seeds they settle. 
Rays of sunshine..
Spurt life from ground. 
A flower
to bloom..
it's so profound....

A Thousand Mirages

My heart thirsts for the waters of
a thousand mirages, which haunt

My being relentlessly
And make me gloomy and miserable
by the day and night

There is no respite to my soul
from these cravings
that are playing hide-and-seek
With me....

In your absence the ink thirsts in barren land,
in your presence it sings like nightingales.
Like waterfalls it flows in your majesty,
drifting to a bridge connecting our hearts.

under the Sal tree
lies a meditation unambitious
a certain implausibility
of death and life and all auspicious

am i disciple - or more - or less
the mind thirsts a life to slake
proceeding forward - or to regress
then sleep and mindfully be awake

It's a beautiful day for a hurricane,
And perfectly I feel terrible
But my Mind is twice my Bane-
My Emotions are unbearable!

I admit I've made mistakes,
Some were small but most were great
Revenge I covet- I dearly Love it:
But it's the worst of thirsts to slake!...

Creating is not creation...
it is more, the tiger from
his cage set free – 

the aquarium dolphin again
allowed to roam endless 
his liquid topography – 

It is releasing gifts

sipping from wells our
thirsts divinely quenched
when surfacing depths of
eternity...

Your skin like leather 
my bulletproof vest
inkling tubes 
tuxedo of flesh 
harness me
hand on chest 
in between sheets 
stringing me along like a kite 
refrained from taking advice 
whistle and jolt
the casual bubble bursts 
bleeding love
and
quenching thirsts...

sleep deception and reality

in the cup
of my hand
i caught a raindrop

blew breath
into my palms
watered fields of lilies
quenched thirsts of doves

smiling
i awoke to bursting bombs
and wailing screams of children:

the fantasy of dreams
the nightmare of truth...

The sky soars ahead
grey in the mind
The clouds flirt with the wind
which darkens in molten red
And she cries...
this love in heat
and the desert thirsts’
Unto her bosom he drinks his wine
red and dark
And rain gushes in cloudless sky
mesmerizing beauty he holds all night...

sunflowers roses
a yellow humming bird hunts
watching the honey

succulent thirsts just sucks
thick nectar the flower makes
sunflowers roses

a yellow humming bird hunts
eating the honey

The world lies in the evil ,
Only Lord Jesus defeated the devil.
And my passionate soul thirsts 
To be free from all that in sins, 

To see the risen Christ,
For the eternal salvation she fights.
Let the world be seized by the devil, 
Pure souls always struggle with the evil....
