Take this Reality

Please unsheathe your finest katana 

Slice my hands away

Wishing to feel again, without touch

Envisioning new day 

Feeling my heart aching 

for love unbound

Experience soul swimming

waiting to be found

Resonate essence 

humming eternal

Unshackling being  

fleeing infernal

Please rid me of my ears

Needing to hear no more

Allow me to bare witness 

As each drops to the floor

This world has numbed me 

into a silence deserted

i can no longer hear 

population perverted

surmounting hate and ignorance

civilisation through thousands of year

so willing to speak 

but deaf in silence we cannot hear

Please pierce hot burning wire 

Through each of my eyes

For the atrocities I have seen 

I have cried enough cries

Each day wracked with violence

Can you not see, now i’m blind

we all possess empathy 

but lack strength to show kind

Please deny me of my right to smell

Take my nose, from this living hell

Breathing in the stench 

Befouled naive in revenge

my breath repels 

but cannot avenge 

multitudes of stupidity

lessons not learnt 

to smell the spring flowers 

humanity needs to be earn’t 

Sluice my tongue 

For I wish not to taste 

Pleasure on offer 

easily taken in haste 

Wealth in abundance 

yet poverty runs wild

ignoring compassion 

close eyes to that child 

yes,

look the other way 

it’s much easier,

yet the problem shan’t go away 

Take my hands PLEASE as i need no them longer 

Reality before me has not made me stronger 

I need to feel, but do no wish to touch

Wisdoms are many, but not needed so much 

Living in a world 

Where good and evil are required 

Do not hold my interest

It was never desired

I want to feel whole 

I want to feel unity 

With one single beat of one heart 

Offering us all to be free

I love how you just want to peel back the senses and just be.. releasing the negativity, the pain, the bad and live free and unburdened.... there are soo many things that we live with day to day, that we bear witness to, that we experience, that we have this desire to let it go, to forget... to remake our reality with a new world where we can just be.... I really enjoyed this...

A deeply emotional write that saddens me...your words are powerful and truly heart wrenching.
Brilliant writing my friend. You have so much talent....incredible talent.

I find this disturbing. The Bible says something about "If thine eye offend you, pluck it out..." You seem willing to give up all the senses in order not to feel...

[KWP]

Hey Marie, I didn't know that about the reference to the Bible... I am more in touch than I thought :) ... I apologize if you found it disturbing ... I was going more for the losing of senses of this reality so we can become in tune with the greatest sense of just being ... But of course as I started writing, it all had a mind of its own.

Thanks for reading xx

Wow for me that was an epic piece of soul searching, as we get older the regrets and mistakes build up and play games with our psyche.

[A. Amos]

Don't we all feel the same, your words are honest and eye opener....as always thanks for sharing!

This one is deep and profound Betty, many layers here to peel back and examine....a thought provoking read chicky! xo
