Premium Member Ruins of the thirst for destiny, we consume ourselves in our own desire to be
Ruins of the thirst for destiny, we consume ourselves in our own desire to be, Our weakness, the key to the historical future, has reduced us to nothingness, Yet it also saved us, gifting us the taste of collapse, sweet and dizzying, We yearn for an event that surpasses all events, A fear that transcends all fears, embracing us...

Hermann Hesse translation of 'Secretly We Thirst'
Hermann Hesse English Translations Secretly We Thirst… by Hermann Hesse from The Glass Bead Game translation by Michael R. Burch Charismatic, spiritual, with the gracefulness of arabesques, our lives resemble fairies’ pirouettes, spinning gently through the nothingness to which we sacrifice our beings and the present. Whirling dreams of quintessence and loveliness, like breathing in perfect harmony, while beneath your bright surface blackness broods, longing for blood...

He, beseeching – I raised my pleading eyes as I saw you pass by. You looked through me. I was invisible. My eyes searched for understanding. You did not say “I’m sorry.” You busied your nose in your phone. My thirst apparent yet you offered nothing. You clutched your coffee tighter although you saw my want. Your bagel a life-send, you passed by imploring hands. You turned away from my...

how do I extinguish my thirst for painting? I wake up thinking of this hobby and I go to sleep exhausted and happy from it how do I quench my creative thirst? I pick up a paint brush and swirl colors on canvas why would I want to snuff out this passion? Maybe because I am getting nothing else done? This love...

Premium Member Never Thirst Again
Never Thirst Again I'm thirsty... for all the joy I think could be In a world of poverty and pain. I'm thirsty... for a kindness I can't find In a world that is blind and ashamed. I'm thirsty for the life I have yearned for in the night, Only Jesus can shine the light through... Jesus said, "Take eat, this...

Soft warm tender tempestuous cushions Of euphoric joy and bliss The gateway to each other's hearts By the eclipse of a sumptuous voluptuous Smouldering lingering kiss An addictive elixir of the sweetest potent nectar dew Once stated your thrust is never really quenched A subliminal transfer of affection An entwined union of hearts minds and souls In a different faraway place...

Premium Member Thirst for Truth
Born in darkness, where senses deceive, We dance with phantoms, a life we perceive. Flickering shadows cast on the cold, stone wall, A tapestry woven, an illusory sprawl. But whispers arise, a disquietude deep, A yearning for knowledge, asleep yet to leap. Beyond the façade, a hunger ignites, To pierce the veil, bathed in dawn's first lights. The climb begins, arduous and slow, As...
