Cold sea mist dilutes my past

Subtle sense of urgency dilutes bliss ~
Reminisce not, plunge into the abyss

Auditory dementia envelops upon a grandeur scale. Skepticism dilutes the 
experience, painting an abyss of soul in-cognizant. Xenophobia empowers the weak, 
imploring a dissonant decadence awaiting....

I know that life brews moments up
As robust as belief,
That sweet hope in a lasting cup
Dilutes distillate grief.

I know no more of death than you,
But taste such bitter blends
As days that cloud to settled view
Of twilights streaked with friends....

Be of good cheer
For joy lives here
With love that steers
A heart sincere.


Be glad of heart
For joy reveals
A precious start:
That urge to heal.


Be happy here
No matter how
Pain dilutes cheer
As peace floods now.

Be a bright spark
That makes the mark
To light the dark


Be good to all
Who come to call
Help dilutes gall


Be a soul kind
Where love can sign
True peace of mind


Be true and bold
And warm the cold
As love unfolds

Tranquil waters, horizon bound I am
my broken past dilutes behind me
new tomorrows within my reach
enrich my heart, my desire ~*~
rustic volcanic scapes
await my presence
my eyes capture ~*~
she, below
azure
blues

diminished by disease
dilutes not bliss beats
renewing effervescence 
within our mind-body urn

it is a paradox of sorts
the aspect transcendent 
immune from the external
is within always immanent 

recognising this, we smile
ego feels we are mocking
since that’s the way it thinks
while we go on celebrating...

Audacious individuals lack sound judgment
Blow-hard opinions vastly inflates ego
Confidence is exceedingly overwhelming
Delusions of grandeur are clearly evident
Engaged in destructive selfish behavior
Factitious self-importance dilutes potential
Gratuitous toxic actions contaminate the collective consciousness
Hedonistic mindset hinders humanity...

Feel the sad strains
Touch seeds new pain


Feel plain sad surge
Sense pain emerge


Feel in my heart
Odd pulse that parts


Feel waves that tease
Pain dilutes ease


Feel how cheer slips
In this sad grip


Feel a deep need
Sad halts my sleep


Feel hollow feel
Sad pain now spills

Salt the earth,
only shaking out love
or
Pepper the place
with capsicum of hate

Salt preserves the peace,
pepper disturbs the harmony

Salted love is always hate-free
Peppered hate dilutes love distastefully

Give me love to salt all my senses down:
Make me immune to the peppery,
pungent aroma hate spreads around
When death comes,
which one will you put in the ground?...

Troubles may feel harsh
In this crazy marsh


But don't run away
Bravely face each day


Truth is not in vain
Even in plain pain


Sad regrets can taunt
As despair now haunts


Plain pain can set free
Your tragic story


Be mindful of fest
Feel the touch of jest


Wit dilutes worry
Glimpse your true story


Rapture hides in pain
No one lives in vain

Experience and innocence join hands,
enabling us to tread through shifting sands
and not be jaded by life’s hard demands.

These strong allies, when thoroughly entwined,
can make us wise; thus, as we’re being kind,
we won’t to mankind’s darker side be blind.

As innocence may cause a hurtful fall,
experience, in time, dilutes the gall,
preparing us to once again stand tall.

Here on this earth
See death and birth


Sense fate and choice
Breath in same voice


Norm dilutes form
Slow to perform


Tact filters act
Slack follows lack


Too soon, too late
Plunge through hot gates


Live while you can
Work well this plan


Death is easy
Life ends quickly


Boost smiles with zest
Forget the rest


Live not in vain
See beyond gain


All in due time
The End will chime

Love feels good:
Yet why
Do I feel
Strange unease?

Stray uncertainty
Comes around
Rain in the breeze
Why do I fear?

This paradox
Confusion limps
Will my heart heal?
Is vain cheer enough?

Love brings chaos
Of some sort
Uncertainty dilutes
What did I miss?

Beware despair
Disguised as false hope
No ecstasy here
Insecurity oozes

Broken with pain
Change feels strange
Even the air
Feels entanglement

It's happening again..

Drops of mercy descending 
from heaven's shadows,
hydrating breathless sighs.

Against my will,
each splash resuscitates, 
my recovering wounds.

Words unspoken, remain,
veiled within the vaults of my heart.
Desperately, I seek the cure.

But, all I can do is stand still,
observing in silence,
soaking in regret.

Blood dilutes with the rain,
and I wonder,
if this will be the last tear.
