A Poem on Fanciful Passions

The flowing currents
Of sheer savage passions
Awakened a forgotten era

They gate-crashed
To unlock the flow
Inundating whatever
Came their way

Directed yet directionless
The passions recklessly danced

The glow-worm passions
Settled on the night-skin and
By morning turned into
A bouquet of fresh flowers
Secretly nurtured and bloomed
Within a loving and longing heart

You can no more bridle passions with logic than you can justify them in the law courts. Passions are facts and not dogmas.

The Unsold Bouquets

the remaining bouquets
the flowers are still fresh
but this late valentine night
they look particularly
bare of hope for a sale
three bouquets on a table
that have become too big for them

during the day, there were
so many of them
one over the other
a city of eager lovers
head over heels
in choosing of the best roses
to convey their feelings
to their fancied

flowers, blooms, blossoms
their grace, fragrance and
semblance of intimacy
won the day for the
hot blooded men who wilted
in the face of transmitting
their innermost thoughts
to their new loved ones

so many of his hearts went
into the girl's when she
acceped his bouquet
so many of his lovelorn nights
turned into nights of hope

now a girl in a condominium
still carries a dream to have
that sweet bouquet from
her secret love

a three-year dream
a bouquet a year
that's three bouquets

three bouquets that sit
on a big vacant heart

longing to be bought
longing to be given away
longing to fill up a lonely heart
giving her life the colours she longs for

This Heart

this heart churns love
this heart brews hatred
this heart houses my passions
my passions share a room with my disinterests
this heart manufactures aspirations
and later decides to go against them
this heart admires
this heart chastises
this heart misses you
and this very heart avoids letting that show
this heart longs for you
yet it doesn't want to be broken by you
this heart is a superwoman
juggling between east and west,
what's right and what's wrong,
reality and fantasies
and puts it all in perfect balance

Between the time that the day dies

Between the time that the day dies
and the sun hangs precious
like a ruby in the sky
and the time that the day breaks
and the sun is fresh and new
like a orange
in the morning dawn,
man and woman
is entranced with the night
which gives flight
to their passions to be one
and although they are
destined to die at a time
the bliss of life
and the intimacy of loving
and the wonders of the world
is their pleasures to share.

The Fires of Love

The fires of love
can burn out so easily
if they are not tended that well.
They need nurturing and fed
to sustain the passion well.

The fires of love
will smoulder and die
if the coals are not stoked
every once in a while
to sustain passions glow.

The fires of love
are not only for the youth.
Even in age we mellow,
we must still let the embers know
the fire burns within the passions well.

The first glance at History convinces us that the actions of men proceed from their needs, their passions, their characters and talents and impresses us with the belief that such needs, passions and interests are the sole spring of actions.

The idea is that the state doesn't have rights to limit individuals' wants and passions. I disagree with that. I think we absolutely have rights because there are consequences to letting people live out whatever wants or passions they desire.

What a mistake to suppose that the passions are strongest in youth! The passions are not stronger, but the control over them is weaker! They are more easily excited, they are more violent and apparent; but they have less energy, less durability, less intense and concentrated power than in the maturer life.

Of all the worldly passions, lust is the most intense. All other worldly passions seem to follow in its train.

Passion's Pyre

Shivers transcend over my body when PASSION whispers in my ear,
Then PASSION gently caresses my skin and electricity fills the air!
Insatiable PASSION takes control and lights the flame of desire,
I am but kindling set at the base of PASSION'S growing pyre.
When PASSIONS' pyre roars to life it's FIRE I become,
Wild with desire in PASSIONS' PYRE I burn until I am done...

To my critics [Criticilor mei]

On the earth are many flowers,
But a few bear fruit and thrive,
All of them knock at the life's gate,
Many though can't stay alive.

It is easy to make poems
When you have nothing to say,
Writing empty words on paper,
Which are nothing but cliche.

But the day your heart is flooded
By desires and by woe
And your mind, hearing them shouting,
Is excited by their flow,

When like flowers at the life's gate,
All these knock at your mind's door,
Asking you to give them freedom,
To allow them to speak more,

For your passions and desires
And for your entire life,
Where will be your severe judges,
The eyes watching you with strife?

Oh! You'll feel as if the sky falls
On your shoulders in no time,
How will you express the truth then,
How you'll find the word and rhyme?

You, my critics, useless flowers,
Without fruit, prone to decay –
It is easy to make poems
When you have nothing to say.

Anger is the most impotent of passions. It effects nothing it goes about, and hurts the one who is possessed by it more than the one against whom it is directed.

Blistered Passions

Blistered passions,
Rising in sweet heat.
Lays to simmer when the panting,
Soothes to cool...
A recovery to repeat.

Those blistered passions,
Are just too hard to ration.
After one kissed lips...
Is promised,
More comes after this.

Blistered passions,
Unmatched is the attraction.
Soft touches leads to snatching...
With a grabbing to unwrap.

Those blistered passions,
Are just too hard to ration.
After one kissed lips...
More come to follow this.

Blistered passions,
Rising in sweet heat.
Lays to simmer when the panting,
Soothes to cool...
A recovery to repeat.

When We Oooo

Can't get enough of you
When we oooo

Hello my love
Wish you were here
So many things in my heart
That I'd like to share
A few warm thoughts
A subtle smile
Our conversation through silence
Could last all night

At ease my mind
To see your face
Those sexy eyes could calm
A heart of rage
You speak my name
I touch your hand
The chemistry only true love could understand

You've opened my soul to happiness
And shown me new ways of love
Smooth is life's travels with you beside me
I'll never walk alone

Can't get enough of you
When we oooo
Can't get enough of you
When we oooo
Can't get enough of you

You give of you
All you can give
You've taught me love laugh
you've taught me to live
At rainbow's end
That pot of gold
Can't hold a lie to you
'cause you're my heart and soul

Such passionate love that we make
In tune our bodies are one
When loving's done the passions still strong
'cause spiritually we are as one

Can't get enough of you
When we oooo
Can't get enough of you
When we oooo
Can't get enough of you
When I oooo
Can't get enough of you
When we oooo
Can't get enough of you

Such passionate love that we make
In tune our bodies are one
When loving's done the passions still strong
'cause spiritually we are as one

Can't get enough of you baby
When we oooo
Can't get enough of you
When we oooo
Can't get enough of you
When I oooo
Can't get enough of you
When we oooo
Can't get enough of you
