Hunted--Halloween Senryu

Playing Hallow tricks 

claws from nowhere pierced me---

thirst for flesh unquenched

Your SMILE ...

Is like a raindrop
In the desert ...

It's all I long for,
Yet it leaves me thirsty ...

For so much MORE.

Untitled

be brave
when darkness comes
and braver still
when not for you
it lingers in
the broken heart
and feeds upon
unquenched desire

My Sky Burns

my sky burns
I smell the acrid smoke
taste the ash on my lips
a thirst unquenched
my skin hot from the heat
my soul singed
my heart incinerates

A Jealous God

As strong as death
(The yielding grave)
Like coals of fire
(A vehement flame)
Unquenched by water
(Undrowning flood)
A jealous God
(The proof of blood)

Vile creature of the night;
vice unquenched, sees her, the
victim, innocent, warm;
veins lush with blood. He feeds
vacates, leaves behind a
vapid ashen corpse; her
vital signs fade to naught.

Unquenched thirst 
for things divine
can only come
when the bucket
has overfilled.
As absorbed and filtered
will be light
if a grain of sand
becomes glass,
surrendering itself
to high heat.

In Denial

O for a world at peace;
Heat of its rage, past.
We're nigh. Its the dusking hour.
Shadowing prey's last.

Skipping o'er battlefield facts
Unquenched in faces
Look! How tame in the moonlight
Roaring's yawned traces.

Got dumped, his first
His love, cursed...ouch!
Her thirst, unquenched

Wasteland

I AM THE DESERT
WAITING FOR RAIN
I THIRST FOR YOU
IT'S DRY AND HARSH
THIS SEASON OF LONGING
HOLDING BACK TEARS
FOR LACK OF MOISTURE
THE AIR IS ARID
STINGS MY FACE
THIS PASSION IS UNQUENCHED
DYING FROM DEHYDRATION.


2000

Natural Disaster

The fierce tidal wave
Roaring raw
Sweeping as it goes.

The outburst of ruin
Deadly heat
Welcomed by thunder.

Fire and brimstone rain
Unquenched burns
Natural killing.

Natural they are...
Disaster  
May God save our souls.

I Am Poem

unquenched thoughts on an empty plate
fail to fill the void
that the multitude hold so dear
as they contemplate the joys
of the breath ending silver
that sets japery up most curiously.
Yet truth concise shall reign most pure.
I am poem honestly.

Hemlock Valentine

The image I imagined,
Alas! It has not passed. 
For I am afire with carnal desire, 
unquenched and dying fast! 
My sweetest bane, I shan't complain- 
you are my Love, my Death, my Pain! 
Through my heart, a stake! Oh, do indicate 
the grave where Love was lain.

Obfuscation

Too often anger wells in me
Like an unquenched dragon
Seeking answers shielded by
Wealthy or powerful pricks,
Truth shaded or obscured
By political appointees eager
To protect their benefactors.
What we really need is Truth
And accountability, punishment.

River Line

Splashing in invigorating beads of perspiration
Blasphemous pouting over grievances, neigh retirement
Itchy foaming kiss, yoked in tumult, dispersed in action 
Catapulting inertia when ravishing tarry
While drenched, unquenched thirst raves belly of aqua's mine
Form: Verse

Mute

I stop at times 
My thoughts pause or I mute them all .

Nope ; I recline in some other thoughts 
Some other savage  thoughts 
Without a language ,without a dream 

I mute them all .
Like those creepy eyes ,thoughts spring up again after  an unquenched lustful ******.

The Makeover

moonlit shadows springs
   eternal flame loves desire
   unquenched forever

   3/ 4/ 2015.      Haiku.

   Springtimes moon shadows dreams inspire.
   Eternal flight flames loves desire.
   Unquenched divine forever bright.
   Starlight enchants, beams with delight.

Fade

the sun pulls my limp soul up across the sky shadows of his breath whisper faint longings my head dips down and I fade, fade, fade my life drips to the earth mingled with tears, sweat and memories i am a pool splattered and seeping through the soil we part both unquenched severed scattered waiting

Wishful Dreams

night-time brings bliss, like sunsets kiss.
   serene sweet dreams in silken sheets,
   as tenderly two hearts entwine.
   together seems like paradise
   a burning flame of deep desire,
   unquenched until the morning light.
   today those fantasies will fade,
   wishes come true on wedding days.

Empty Trade

Reflecting on life
in the darkness of night,
eyes drift about
inquiring clarity’s insight

Darkened corners
hold yesterday’s dreams
pressed smoothly
against tomorrows seams

Stifled intake
of sobs quickly clinched
Smothered pillow
holds tears unquenched

Morning light
through slotted shade
Spears empty corners
an unwelcomed trade

On A Beach

Summer, with warmest
Of benignant wills
Full-faced, with a gladdening
Dawn to dusk, unquenched
There, each, if sea- tumbled drenched
What as flushed instils.

Of which coastal heat
Enveloped, once wooed
Its cliffed heights, the loner's urge
Blown further along
There, down there, as clear, day-long
Thousands singly viewed.

Beach

The sky cries softly into the sea
Muslin mist offers comfort to the waves
Tide ebbs and sways like a returning lover
The sun playfully dips its chin 
to ease its unquenched heat
and insect sand wriggles between naked feet
The skipping stone with lessing effort kisses
liquid mirror
The land and water gentle and eternal
hold hands in hope
but always soon must part

Demonic Disposition

Each little percussion of your
Heart’s drum centers on 
Perfection.

Apathy becomes a cold friend
On a dry day full of lethargic
Heat—sweat beads of undesired
Lust.

I am the apprentice—my master—
Spirits of unquenched probable
Addictions—demons of
Ignorance.

Fallen angel—I denounce you
Here and now.

‘Tis hell,  this place 
Me doth dwell 
Lost in dreams of thee
Drifting 'ore a unquenched wave
Across a never ending sea
From whence that shore
That once appeared before me
So demure
Fie, ’twas but a dream, a dream
A dream, and nothing more

The Abc's of Grudges

The ABC’s of Grudges
     By Dane Smith-Johnsen

Argument begets contentious disagreements.
Endlessness forever grinds.  Harrowing.
Illusion, joyfully keeps laughter minced.
Nonetheless, ominous paltry quarrels revile.
Scorn traverses unquenched.
Victory's wailing xenagogue- (guide)
Yesterday zaniness.


(Simple solutions:  Love one another and forgive as God will forgive us… or not.)
