Forever Young

It might somehow a bit knotty,

if we want to grab those joyful moments,

the dread is here in this same breath,

whether those flashes will stay timeless.

Can you just stop rushing awhile,

and take a gaze at your soul mate?

Just see in the eyes to seize the wish:

"I yearn for a life forever young!"

Now that is then the artless bit,

for even you can't give it a tip.

Our age is sometimes truly eerie,

as well for those who love swiftly.

But tell me why you should hurry.

Is that because you're too greedy,

to gaol your mate in eternity?

If God has ever been in love,

and such to boot in a human way,

there'd be no image of timelessness,

since God is Love in every splodge,

God only knows that love is a Now.

And Love never frets of endlessness.

If you wish to calm your soul for love,

never neglect your every immanence,

never go away from each love offered.

Just be grateful for those now close,

snuggle their hearts to sense the ardour,

and whisper straight from your shoulder,

"I'm so happy you're here, right now."

And Human Created Violence

These radiant godly beauties,
and those lavish mellow bounties,
may not be that hard and fast.
Right when we are enamoured,
words and eyes turn villainous.

But not one in this mother earth,
would be gifted to make plain,
why this violence should shatter,
why the fury should be born,
time and again in our own nerve.

We may have buried one little fact,
God has never created serpent.
'Cause it's only human who did this,
unleashing the dread and those harsh words,
concocting hatred and bitterness.

Now mark the words before you speak,
and watch the look you will afflict,
just to make sure that you won't bleed,
one's heart and soul you've ever held,
the unasked care you've ever felt.
