Anger a Killer of Souls

True, a taste of tomorrow is bitter sweet
in minds eye, or even in sleep
but is it truth, or is it lie
only you 'll know, when you search for the why

But know this, when love,  it is found
there are no reasons left, the truth profound
its a peace, a calm, a beauty absorbed
its the inner voice plus a proof, that cant ignore

no more shadows , that cant find a home
no more whispers,  in the dark,  alone
i'm here, i'm near, so talk to me
but show respect, or l shall flee

what are you looking for ?
is it really found ?
or are you wandering, lost, 
like heavy rain clouds

i'm here, i'm near, so talk to me
but show respect, or l shall flee

what is anger ?  it's a killer of souls
l choose not to be-friend it, l embrace love...whole
so talk to me, l listen,  l hear
but don't show me your hate 
........................................or l shall flee.

No more whispers, in the dark alone : what an intense poetic line. But not at the cost of psychic well-being. And that too was conveyed in unambiguous and emphatic words of poetry: but show respect, or I shall flee. Wonderful.

Whatever happened to love thy neighbour. Actually, what happened to neighbours, they all put ten-foot fences up for privacy now. Mind you, that might be just to get away from me.

His gardens is like a builders tip still after renovating his house even after 5 ys :( so l planted dense apples trees etc along my side, now all in fruit :)

Exactly! Tried to say this on my blog but I fear the world is increasingly embracing hate, angst and bias. I suppose it shouldn't surprise us as the world becomes ever more fractured - Daniel 2:43
