LIFETHIRST
Unable to wait anymore for the signal,
Bidding farewell to the festering locust,
On wings of drinks I set out;
For the tryst with you, dearest.
Lo! all is engulfed in the mire
Of darkness, ignorance abysmal, dire
Their blunders and call life dear.
Nay, dark is every moment here.
Irked by a sea of fetters, I besiege you.
Though not a prometheus to be a hero,
Anxious to lift the dying multitude,
I hurry horsed by songs to pastures new.
Dearie, for the dear life to thrive,
I desire a death warrant to drive
Bastard misery and great abyss.
Surely, the earth is a charnel - house.
What’s that noise in the eerie Silence?
Oh! Owls astraddled on glowworms,
sing, The dirge to darkness and pestilence;
Heralding new life, at horror howling.
