Anger

Expectations unhonoured hit hard They hurt where they should Promises unkept fling blows They strike where they aim Words unpleasant slash harsh They rip through wherever they could. My mind catches fire of the wild Blazes the tender endurance Uncontrolled, it boils the blue blood Unquenched, it scorches the sound sense Untamed, it burns the relationship chords All these dwindle turning into despicable debris. The flame flows from the burning eyes Singes the green meadow empathy makes The heart morphs into a volcanic inferno Erupting fuming lava called anger. Through the billowing smoke thick and blinding I come out of the ruins, see the beauty the life is Before my ember conscience burns the soul I rise from the ashes, self reformed and sane. May 5, 2018.
