Why do what others do,
      Don't be scared to be different,
                            Take
                                  The
                                       Plunge....

Heart racing fast
It’s now or never
Take a deep breath
Calm your self
Take the plunge
Fear runs through your body
Close your eyes
Lose your breath
Go in
Swimming up to cheering friends
A smile on your face 
Look up at the high dive
You finally faced your fear...

On the brink of a

moment, teetering

before I fall. Taking

in the still view, the

peaceful breaths from

the mountain peak. I

tweak my feathers and

take the plunge, no longer

held back having let go

of my grudge. Its a free-fall

with a breath filled with love...

My heart 
tells me it's love,
but my head doubts it's true.
It's quite a gnawing conundrum 
My heart and head keep warring with themselves
I'm tempted to take the plunge, but...
truth is I'm all at sea!
Should I believe...
my heart?

A Roll in the Hay

Try to be different.
Take the plunge. 
Dare to live for today.
Be your own boss,
be true to your school,
and, charge for a roll in the hay.

Eat, drink and do Mary.
Boys will be boys they say.
But, Men and the boys
have different priced toys,
Some men even pay for the hay......

Last days of summer
Autumn's presence felt
The sea retains some heat
Hardy souls take the plunge
While gulls skim and surf
Riding on waves that swell
A curious seal watches
Alien species enjoying
Freedom from the land.

Splats of red take the plunge,
Right below her screaming eyes 
Tarnishing her white pillow case 

A foster mother in rage 
Cheese grader, as if that is the solution

Time truth conquers over her gripped hands
Dizzy in fear, she takes the child

Hides the truth behind those white walls
And leaves her 

Not one look back...

Den of the wild things
floating sheets, layers of waves
that haunt,
playing on the shores.

Dipping into the black night
laced around my skin and my soul.

The darkness of my eyes,
the reckless me.
Touching more than
all the wild things in me.

The moon crystal
naked glow,
and I take the plunge.

With an ebony plunge in the sea tonight
With the sky in a rage and fit to be tied
emerging opacity sleeps in my eyes-
clouds to be burned at the seams
WIth a storm iron grey on the tip of my tongue
With wings, liquid wings as I take the plunge
emerging with silver flips licking my mouth-
on a night of insatiable hunger....

I'm taking a leaf out of Prince William's book
the next time that I have my hair trimmed
I might just take the plunge and copy his new look
since mine has irrevocably thinned.
One hundred and eighty the price I shall pay
once I have got that cash to hand
my barber says that he can do that price, say,
if he charges me two quid a strand....

More knowledge would have been fun
I was an idiot not to take the plunge
should have focused on versatility instead;
But was too busy enjoying the safe ride.

What’s the point of only getting to end point
if you are not going to enjoy the ride,
destiny should not be the target; but
experiences should be the ultimate take away..

Plethora of negative thoughts
Which have been residing in me
 Killing myself at their request
Dying in silent scream

I am standing ashore, on cliff
Wondering how I got there
Scared to take the plunge
Even though it’s the dead end

“Nothing” is my eternal feeling
Thus; I stand empty handed
Wanting to be able to want
Although I really don’t care....

Meeting someone then falling in lOve
 And knowing she is the one
 Ready to take the plunge
 Respecting the vows we made
 Intense was our passion
 After many years her charm still beguiles
 Glad we tried to make it work
 Even through the good and bad
                            ~

standing on the edge of dawn
holding your breath
sweet anticipation
waiting to take the plunge
fear of the unknown
yet bliss at the surprise
deep dark waters
rise
swallowing you
whole
leaving the past behind
yet
you are not lost
you know the way
follow the dawn
embrace the new day
lie down at dusk
lost in sweet dreams
showing you the way  MJR(C)2010...

Thus, upon the morrow
with a subtle tinge of sorrow
as I shivering, remember
dip my toes into November
for her snowflakes, now aloof,
will soon land upon my roof.

And yet, I’ll take the plunge
soak her up like childhood sponge
for there’s something in the wind
makes me long for her again
to caress her long and slow
to see my angel in the snow.

They drown in each other,
Inhaling immensely as they take the plunge,
Plummeting down as the bubbles rise,
Getting lost in the elegance.
Ascending to the sky,
Twirling in a dance of satisfaction,
Breathing heavy as they break the surface,
Drawing in life,
Before cascading under the rays of the sun.
Like a graceful waltz
They breach only for a moment,
To replenish their lives,
As they become one....

I stopped myself,
from just ending it all Sunday.
I was ready to take the plunge but
all I heard was
the ba-bump ba-bump of my heart,
all I saw was the sacrifices 
my mom has made for me
and I thought to myself..
you really want to give all this up?
Your family the things you love.
From now on
I think you're not a failure,
you're not a mistake;
you are somebody and not a nobody you are beautiful
and you are smart with a lovely big heart....

optimistic turtle decides to take the plunge
he pushes off Gardner's Island with hope in his heart
he rides choppy waters for hours
heading toward the far-away lighthouse
knowing there is some sort of refuge there
he takes periodic breaks, floating easily on top of the waves
unconcerned, with resolve that he will not only survive but thrive
his optimism fills the ocean with hope
even the sharks feel it, and they respond
secretly rooting for him to make it...

Free falling
Your body about to leave your burdened soul
Soiled by years of lies and sins
All about to be cleansed
In the most extreme sacrifice.
Make your last amends
Say your last wish
But save your last words,
For no one cares to read dead mans tales's in this caniving society.
Now take the plunge
1,000 feet above ground
Now six feet under.
Sanctity has come at last,
Your one of the lucky few
To be granted the premature priviledge of an early escape....

It burns in me,
your broken thoughts.
Reminder of a wound,
healed, yet, not forgotten.

Ain't it too late?
For I can hear the bamboos,
that'll ferry me across,
the meridian being felled.

"Girl!" I say, "Weed off,
your unhealthy doubts."
Ah! The planned waterfall,
is a free fall of thrills.

There ain't a life jacket,
But 'am set to take the plunge, 
Holding onto my ABCs*.
You stick to the blueprint, please.

*ABC = Accelerator, Brake, Clutch (meaning controls/basics)...
