Anger Within

How fine you look 
When dressed in rage, 
A condition never 
Harmed by age,

Luck for you, that 
This addiction, is 
But a temperate 
Condition,  

For soon you’ll feel 
And hear and smell
All the things that 
Come from hell,

Rather like, and 
Excuse my tone, 
Like grinding flesh 
From human bone,

How fair you look 
When clad in red 
As all your patience 
Now has fled, 
But of course, your 
Lucky too,
As red eyes tend to
Suit so few, 

Lightning will envy 
The way you storm,
And the thunder will
Wonder about your form,

But let’s not forget 
The way you grin,
When you have committed 
A crimson sin,

How dark you look
When garbed in wrath,
As you wonder down 
A wicked path, 
From when your of a 
Darker hue, 
And you know my 
Statement true,
