Stop the bloody violence!

Hello! Yes, we meet again.

Just when you thought your anger would blow your mind
And the fury would rise for you to respond in kind.
There is a little part of you, your sanity's bane:
A part you wish you could keep down with a firm palm and cane.
It is taking over your words and clouding your sense of meaning.
If only your lungs could cope with your eyes steaming.

The ringing in your ears, incessant and nauseatingly revolting,
Along with the involuntary impulses to smash whatever you are holding,
Rushes through your blood-stream in a mad dash to seep out
Every fluid from your body and end this unnecessary bout.

You hope that silence will let your grey-matter settle
That the ringing would kill the noise, but it matters little
To your mind, concocting its own imaginative ways of murder
Of the rage and the manic strength that let you take it so much further.

A balled up fist and legs in position, you got ready
To swing your arms and let go of any emotions steady.
You were grinding your teeth, almost breaking the enamel,
As your teary eyes swung open to let the scene in front of you unravel.

That is when we met last!
Me, your reason and you, getting furious, fast!
I asked the cool breeze to flutter behind your ear,
At the back of your neck and lastly, near your rear!
I left you that time and have returned again today,
Stronger to hold you back as you loose control to rage.

Close your eyes and come, follow my voice.
This time, take another second and review your choice.
If the tearing of skin and breaking of bones are your wants,
Please consider the guilt that will come back to haunt.

No, you don't listen to my voice for it is not strong enough,
The ringing has drowned my reason to a small huff.
If only you could stand back and be patient,
I could be heard stronger, right at the front.

Don't let me be a small cry from a memory forgotten,
Give me room instead to stop your actions rotten.
Let the time stop and breathe deeper
Your heartbeat will slow down and your footing won't be any steeper.

Now that I have your undivided attention,
Just calm the fuck down and stop the unnecessary domestic violence!

The Leap

Walk up the green-sided road,
Lined with towering walls of leaves, shades of green, shapes of green.
Some leaves perspire, droplets form,
From the corners they collect and tip-out off the tapered end.

These drops fall on the brown muck below,
That which is waiting with open arms,
Welcoming every drop in the hope to form a streamlet,
To flow further down into what is beyond the horizon.

Approach the horizon like you were gliding towards it,
Although the heels feel the pressure of every step.

Look once, just one step before you can broaden your vision,
Down at the ground while the brown earth gives you the same effect
As coffee beans between perfumes.

Look far and beyond the great blue sea,
While the waves crash at the bottom of the cliff.
Do you see the formidable waves crashing into the rocks?
Now, do you see the seemingly calmer waves beyond?

Crouch, one last time, like a spring to extend more.
Jump like you were about to fly when you stop,
Mid-air, and let the wind engulf you.
Let the ocean extend its arms to you.

Close your eyes, ears, tongue, skin and nose
As you plummet towards the elegant mass of white and blue.

The first stinging touch of the water and eventual caressing of the undercurrents will take you
To the bottom of the ocean, far away from a world you knew,
And very far away from a world you loved!

The sights you see, the sounds you here, the things you feel
Are very different from what was familiar.

Welcome this new world!
So much more to know, to see, to love!

Welcome these new experiences,
A whole new realm to love!

When you come back

When you come back, and it will be soon
All that waiting, looking in your direction will be over
The memory of you smiling will be met by you smiling ever more brightly!

When you come back to this side of the world,
Back from where it is what God meant his “green earth” to be,
With the fresh air in your lungs and the love of other beings in your eyes,
I hope you do not find the “faster” version really much duller than what you have witnessed.

When you come back down from the heights,
Where what petty things you have come back to doesn’t matter
Simply because you got together, one with the mounts.,
To have a small chat here and there about things that suit its size.
  
When you come back, and I hope you find that beauty here,
As you will find that beauty wherever
You try to find the river’s essence that lives forever
In every being and lively entity all over!

Head first, you and me

Lets dive into this sea
That crashes onto the rocky shores.
Head first, you and me
Landing through blue doors.
Colours blur into a rainbow fudge
Fauna and flora seem strangely similar.
Holding hands, we all swim
One world ensconced in a love-spin.
We found love in a blue-shaded world
Connected, separated, from the earthly swirls.
