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.
