No Harm Done

No Harm Done

Yesterday, I let myself out
I’ve learnt to stop me
But yesterday I couldn’t
The rage and anger spilled
The part of me I detest 
Spewed like volcanic lava
Ran down my sides
Tripped from mouth
And you, as always
Said nothing, no need
Just got on with it
Waited for the calm
Acted like a summer breeze
Smoothing my hair
Brought tears to my eyes
A wasted hour over an irrelevance
Love is you. All I need is you
Sorry. The lids back on and 
Tightly screwed. No harm done.

Anselmo Boles November 11, 2021 at 9:05 PM I admire the authenticity of losing control then expressing negative emotions in this piece, like a multitude of people I'm sure go through sometimes. The beauty here is that there is someone close by who caresses and pacifies the mind. A fine write Dave Cox! ...ab Dave Cox November 12, 2021 at 1:56 AM Many thanks Anselmo. I have a special person by my side and I know how lucky I am. Take care, Dave
