Love Poem No. 33 : DRINKING FROM DIFFERENT WELLS

DRINKING FROM DIFFERENT WELLS


 Desert springs and holy wells
Unending flow of divine streams;
The pull is strong, temptations hard,
A thirsty traveler wild I run
From one shore to the other.

Helicon sweet and Ganges pure,
As a camel I begin to suck
To fill my bag for seasons sour;
Emptying and filling never to cease,
The process perchance, till the grave.

Thou smilest in secret scorn,
Knowing well my varied strands;
Allowing the games to the post,
And waiting for the final plunge
To cross the Styx and swim ashore.

Dr. Karickam
