Anger Hides

Anger hides
Behind a gentle gesture
Shouting
How
did you let
this happen
You are there
I know it
See it
In flashes of sadness
In your eyes
In snarls of frustration
On your face
I know
You are present
Lost
In a synaptic maze
And so I search
Angrily
For a way
To find you
To free you
To love the you
That you are

Very perceptive poetry, John. That hidden anger can fester if we don't find it and confront it. I like your poem, my friend. Have a great day! I'm following your poetry now. Bill
