reality of hate

entering life's core
center crust
of existence
tore from limb
to limb
serving in peace
inside the heartache

opening crypts
within the mind
speaks in
its own world
is this life
we live
worth living

naked outside
our being
such bitterness
could turn
the beauty
of joy
into sadness

a battlefield within
oneself could turn
love into hate
pain and suffering follows
overturning happiness leaving
the dreaded darkness
of oncoming doom
words spoken meaningless
full of
empty promises

a forever dream
destroying future plans
one foolish game played
judging one completely
without good reason
down trodden
without mercy
fighting in
the light

your shame
is haunting
turning a sanctuary
into a dark prison
emotions greater
than oneself
found the answers
behind unforgiving
truth in reality
i let you go
with love

My dear best friend Liam.. What a write. You made me shed in tears as the mixed feelings of love and hate is there in one level of turmoil and unforgettable battle of going on life filled with despair and sorrows.

Take care my dear loved brother...

Forgiveness sadly is very hard to do, even harder than losing weight which I have to admit hasn't gotten done because I frankly don't want to do the work. I did find that when I got drunk in 1987 I was without any revenge inside of me. So maybe that's why some people drink, so they can escape that evil feeling that comes on them from years of bad treatment.

it destroys all beauty joseph dear friend only in forgiveness it heals thank god i have never hated anyone maybe the injustic of it in my life one time i was dumped in a canal tortured and left for dead the hate almost devoured me when i forgave i saw the beautiful light of the world one of gods miracles again when i got cured of cancer some people are not capable or strong enough to love unconditionally light is hiding inside all of us a vision worth dying for hate can dominate exerting itself over the weak who love bringing such beauty to the knees excellent comment deeply appreciated dear friend

hi Liam I still need to play catch up on here, have been away a while.

I am very positive it will come to pass my dearest loved Liam, and surely the one who is to come can give us a better view of what life and love is. And the good news is that our heart is here with us and never just leave us.

Take care and be strong...
