Relief

Published by Ondrej on August 2, 2023 
What's brewing underneath that smile?
A deep-rooted contentment
Going the extra inner mile
It's that smile you give me
It's that smile I reply with
It's the orchestra reaching a crescendo
and a song in its coda
It's the feeling of getting  to know yourself;
the feeling of knowing the road is long
and has been a hell of a windy bloody road
as I looked over the edge and saw the vast, dark ravine
of what could happen
but instead I chose to climb uphill
and only now I'm reaching the splendour
of the sunlit meadows
of my soul.

Anger

Published by Ondrej on August 1, 2023 
Shouting and throwing things
    spilled tears and spilled dreams
is this really how
    we ought to deal with life's seams?

My love, look at me,
    look me in the eyes
my dear, imagine a world
    with no surprises!

As fuming red turns to foggy hues,
    and words come out in two-by-twos
take a step back
   and see life's funny cues.

No need to spill and make a mess
    if only to one another you'd confess
don't bend over and cry
    and spoil your pretty dress!

If only we'd see what's life's everyday
    instead of fighting day to day
it's not that hard
    if you imagine the beautiful future coming our way.

Tired

Eyes drooping
Head pounding
             thud
                       thud
A relentless anxiety
    to keep digging mud

Shovel in, shovel out
    what's the point 
        of this night out?

Smoke-filled rooms
    and dainty hallways
the corridors of life
    sweep us away

We mustn't forget
    to breathe and pause
because it is in our power
    to change course.
