Emotional Onset Surges Like Tsunami 2nd Wave

Analogous to many a flaming among
fiery roaring tongue,
     poised sinned thyself to flung
maybe this equates with 
     emotional repression – Carl Jung

     would attest deservedly, aye clung
condemned to Dante's Inferno,
     searing each lung
where just moments ago, a typhoon
     swept over this papa,

     no longer a foo fighting 
     "special hero" unsung,
     whose sweaty hands could
     no longer grasp hold of sanity
his entire soul felt inconsolably rung
with bittersweet asphyxiated,
     choking suffocating tears.
