Nameless Emotions
I sit here with intense emotions crashing through me
One by one they resound within me with an earth-shaking clarity
As I try to pin down names to them, to piece back together my shattered order,
The names slyly elude me, dancing out of my reach
I can feel only the futility of naming these emotions, flimsy names that do not fully
grasp the enormity and feeling behind these Nameless Emotions.
Anger... This word, how does it depict the blind rage that boils the red-hot blood
flowing through the body,
The unseeing eyes staring at a crimson horizon of revenge,
The beating rhythm pulsing, shaking the firm foundations of morality and
conscious decision?
It cannot, it utterly fails and pales in comparison to the true Nameless Emotion.
Sadness...
