Notes About The Poem

                   

Blind Rage

My muscles twitch along their length
as words gain volume in my brain.
And my temper exerts its strength
spewing insults fraught with disdain.

When anxiety warps what's real,
the innocent suffer my wrath.
A blind rage distorts how I feel,
and it's not safe to cross my path.

Until anger leaves me alone
I can't begin to feel your pain.
For anger turns my heart to stone
and drives me completely insane.

Hurling hurts; I'm right in your face,
but back off on hearing your cries.
For love quickly takes anger's place
as tears begin to fill your eyes.

If I lose you, I'll have lost all
and thus flounder in sorrow's wake.
For I can't survive such a fall,
it is more than my heart can take.

Elaine George February 9, 2016 at 12:18 AM Anger, I believe is really a defense mechanism to shield our own pain. You have conveyed the unwanted results it brings about very well, Emile. Elaine Emile Pinet February 9, 2016 at 8:49 AM Thanks Elaine, your visits are always a welcomed treat. Emile.

Arthur Vaso January 23, 2016 at 9:02 PM Emile, you are the most "un-angry" person I know, you have expressed this so well! The photo was amazing too! Emile Pinet January 24, 2016 at 10:42 AM Thanks Arthur, I've mellowed out throughout the years, but I had quite the temper when I was much younger and less refined. It is nice to hear from you my friend. Emile.

Daniel Turner January 23, 2016 at 10:52 AM In anger we almost always say or do something to hurt the people we love the most. Fallout from caring, just expressed in anger not hate. Very well written. Emile Pinet January 23, 2016 at 2:51 PM Thanks Daniel, your visits are always welcome. Emile.
