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

truly a commentary on hiding anger. You've described it quite well (snarls of frustration on your face and in a synapthic maze) Such a song and dance we couples do. Great read...have a pleasant weekend, Sara
