It's a new dawn they say
why can't I see that?
Everywhere is dark with no sign of light
The birds are chirping
The trees; dancing
To the tune of the blowing wind.
Like there is something to be happy about
My hopes are shattered
My dreams look unattainable
But why do I feel this fire
burning within me?
It is unquenchable and wants me to stay hopeful.
Is this an indication of a coming win?
Remain hopefully I hear a voice whisper
Be persistent it says.
Today, I choose to stand up
Stand up to my battles
with renewed hope.

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 void of time travelled to
Sharing a mutually blooming flourished
Whimsical dream in tender hands.

‘Immediate arrival inevitable’ - is the message of emergency he receives from his ‘oak-leaf-worn’ military major whose command an Indian soldier can never imagine reacting or refusing. Crimson-clad, nose-ringed, bangles-jingling, now-wed wife resembling an immaculate-milk-flowing-full-moon; no honey-moon and veil not fully removed yet; not completely contented with looking at each other and drinking from their desire-brim-filling-gestures; love-full, lust-full, feeling for each other’s presence full; tears fill her eyes; he has his hidden pains; leaves for his destiny. She…?

A cache of snow that's drifting
to nestle on a mountain crest.
Sun-warmed it trickles down the slope,
to melt in winter rest.
A hesitating Brook is cradled
in a spring times sweet embrace.
And the look of passing seasons,
is a smile upon earth's face.
Rise O' Stream whose waters break,
across a sandy-pebbled floor.
To waiting Rivers down the way,
that stretch to reach the shore.
And dreams of mingling with the seas,
it runs to get there first.
Oceans surge to snare the prey,
and quell their avid thirst.

Nowhere to go, none to see.
All alone, all isolated i'm closeted
Darkness, blindness. No mercy's mine!
Disaster, disdain, self-mercy i'm inflicted.
Raised upon my soul i thee adorne i did this!
Punished with words i can't speak- dysmorphism
Pain is unquenchable, beyond unbeatable comforting touch.
None is mine to see, none to live for!
Hope I need, but No! none available.
Incurable it is, thus all i see is grinded hot lava of unquenchable pain!!!
Though I vision, I think shallowness of redemption and narrowness of pain.
Near of End, time to go.
Au revoir!!!

Trying to quench the unquenchable thirst
Transfixed on your warm soft succulent lips
Like a moth I surrender to desires burning flame
Indelibly engraved on my heart
Your and your's alone heavenly name.
Lost in your soft warm enticing landscape
I explore every contour and vale
With tender loving kisses
Leaving a silver trail.
You are the lavish feast that I had hungered for so long
Your famine womanly wiles take me to the most beautiful places
Never ventured before
I feel so privileged and so thankful
Yo be with an angel
Who lets me sail to the sunset of her shore.
As waves of love and passion grow stronger
And we dance in loves eternal flame
We become one and no longer two
So much giving and giving
As you give yourself to me
And I to you.

Bent on discovering the truth
Stuck on igniting the flame
Restarting the stunted growth
All these things I want to know
To experience the old as new
Plot this pilgrimage as if it my own
It is, who is to say it is not?
Discover as if I were the first
I am the boy with the unquenchable thirst
Eager to start this tidal wave adventure
Anxious to stop the things I won't remember
From now on all I do
Will command to occupy my mind
And in turn subconsciously
Leave the past behind

I seek the intoxicating thirst
that can not be quenched
To shower a lover with tender warm kisses
and be drenched
again
again
and again................

Unquenchable Desire [Prayer]
“4 Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word
that comes from the mouth of God.’” Matt 4:4 NKJV
Lord, give me an Unquenchable Desire
To spend time in your word.
Make your words sweeter than honey;
More powerful than any sword.
Enable me to abide in your word;
Make me your true disciple;
Help me to adhere to your teachings;
Accept every true principle.
Give me an intimate knowledge
Of your truth to set me free.
May your words be my daily food;
Complete comprehension to see.
May I treasure your words
And bury them in my heart.
Give me that Unquenchable Desire—
Your great love to impart.
As a disciple of the Messiah,
May I live according to your word;
Seek to tell others
Of this great hope you afford.
May I not sin against you,
But even if I should,
I ask your forgiveness—
Let your peace be restored.
Give me an Unquenchable Desire
To seek your promises daily;
To completely trust your words—
Drink them up readily.
This desire is supernatural;
A desire only you can provide.
May your words be my ‘manna’,
Until in heaven I reside.

Vivid imagination spins,
when one creates
a fine literary work...
life would never be happier.
When one creates,
ideas keep on flowing...
life would never be happier
with thoughts swifter than light.
Ideas keep on flowing
like water from a waterfall
with thoughts swifter than light
I am glad to reach my home.
Like water from a waterfall
that's pure and refreshing
I am glad to reach my home
without worry, sadness or doubt.
That's pure and refreshing
as I drink it with great delight...
without worry, sadness or doubt,
to satisfy my unquenchable thirst.
I'm still writing my first Pantoum,
seeing shadows advancing...
without worry, sadness or doubt,
I pay more attention to form than rhyme.
Perched on the power line, owls stare at me
and wonder what I am doing at such hour
by this bright lamp...as
vivid imagination spins.
