The high-spirited man may indeed die, but he will not stoop to meanness. Fire, though it may be quenched, will not become cool.
Ambition is a lust that is never quenched, but grows more inflamed and madder by enjoyment.

Prime Of Our Love
I have rocked you to sleep like a baby
Stood beneath you and lifted you up
I have given you comfort and safety
Now youve gone in the prime of our love
I have cradled your head on my pillow
Quenched your thirst from my sweet loving cup
I have bowed to your needs like a willow
Now youve gone in the prime of our love
Oh, the days are slow in their passing
And the nights are so dreadfully dull
And the question my heart keeps on asking
Whyd you leave in the prime of our love?
I have cradled your head on my pillow
Quenched your thirst from my sweet loving cup
I have bowed to your needs like a willow
Now youve gone in the prime of our love
In the prime of our love youve forsaken
Our bright hopes and just left them to fade
And the heart that was yours for the breaking
Lies in pieces to wither away
I have cradled your head on my pillow
Quenched your thirst from my sweet loving cup
I have bowed to your needs like a willow
Now youve gone in the prime of our love
In the prime of our love youve forsaken
Our bright hopes and just left them to fade
And the heart that was yours for the breaking
Lies in pieces to wither away
Lies in pieces as cold as the clay

Will you permit the sacred fire of liberty, brought by your fathers from the venerable temples of Britain, to be quenched and trodden out on the simple altars they have raised?

It is not for man to rest in absolute contentment. He is born to hopes and aspirations as the sparks fly upward, unless he has brutified his nature and quenched the spirit of immortality which is his portion.

Extinct
Wilderness,
Exrtnct,
Quenched;
With waters in the wilderness and rivers in the deserts!
But i have chosen you to be my wife,
And like the sun moving around us.

Faust
The spell was broken. All that evil lay in shards
on the floor, like unseasonable scarves
shed along the backs of furniture.
Once-fiery little stones cooled and quenched underwater
each incantation unsung, each

Quenched
Abhorrence,
Transgressed,
Quenched,
The carcasses!
But this teaches about those who survived for us to gain hope;
So read this for yourself!
Because, the land is now full of refuguus;
And in East Africa, we have more stories to write home about.

A Prayer
Until I lose my soul and lie
Blind to the beauty of the earth,
Deaf though shouting wind goes by,
Dumb in a storm of mirth;
Until my heart is quenched at length
And I have left the land of men,
Oh, let me love with all my strength
Careless if I am loved again.

Great Soul
shall i liken you
to a water that once quenched
the longings of this dry
river bed
after which you leave
leaving no trace of you
since you
appear just like the rest
of those
ordinary flow
of water?
such greatness
always
unrecognized
as you
very well like it to be
when no one is looking
that is the time
that you assume finally
the body
of air
they all breathed you
but they do not really know

It Is There to Tease
There is no wisdom obtain,
Alone.
Or stranded on an island,
One may condone.
Some may wish to try this.
Perhaps self inflicting it.
But a thirst is quenched...
To nourish what is missing.
An absence,
Does not stop the hunger.
Once a taste has been satisfied...
There will be a longing for more.
And a craving to explore,
A temptation presented...
Can not be ignored.
Not if it is there to tease.

Capitalism (The Sword)
capitalism...
the sword of the godless
raised against the children
left without a country!
the fire never quenched,
that consumes the nameless,
and scorches the feet
of those of conscience.
the empty house padlocked,
the stove unlit...
the vampire kneeling
before the cross of the lie!

R.i.p.
I have a scorching desire
To be with you.
That is burning me
Inside out.
Love has incinerated me
To ashes…
And I wait for the
Winds of time to
Waft me away…
Into the Ganges of love
Flowing within you.
Only then can I
Attain Moksha.
A lifetime of thirst
Quenched by you.
~ Amen ~ R.I.P.

I played a Melody of Greenery!
A blade of grass
Yearning for a dropp of water
Greyed in its painful penance..
With a pitiful tremble fed it
With a pailful of water
And quenched its thirst in great humility.
O on the nerves the earth
I played a Melody of Greenery!

each piece of Ampatuan
for each body, each child and each pregnant woman
each newspaperman, each bystander, all 57 of them & more
the body of Ampatuan shall be chopped into pieces
each piece as a partial payment of each dead body accounted...
perhaps justice will be served
perhaps the thirsty earth shall be quenched
perhaps each scream shall be silenced
perhaps....

There, there the land of bounty lies
Many fingers point to the land
of bounty.
All feet lead to it.
All hearts cry out
and are satisfied.
All thirst quenched.
All needs catered by the
Owner of the Land of Bounty
He who also owns
the skies and seas.
You are a sad man.
Why?
Why do you always
shy away from the Man of Bounty?
This is something that
I cannot really understand.
Sad man, you must tell me.

In My Breast
Weeping at dusk,
The heart only knows oppression,
Desire lingers like a disease untreated.
I’ve been loved
And hurt the one
Who bestowed such love.
The law of karma
Finds me defenseless
In emotional back alleys
And besieges me mercilessly.
In my breast
Is longing unfulfilled
Like a sea never quenched
With ceaseless tears.
