Rage

Strike like a hammer to the furnaced rod,
emmited sparks of incessant lust

With tempest storm against the rocks
purged deep within the flesh,
for nothing else requites 
with such deep pleasure

With focussed beam projected
like a light house seeking souls.
Avoiding all else but that one aim
of gratified, repugnant pleasure

The hawk its quarry,
the bow its arrow.
This guilty sin, its spur
like a rod to lightening

Yet the truth shall find its bubble
and set my building straight.
The heat shall be over, spent at last,
as night falls on another day

'...the hawk its quarry, the bow its arrow,' A genuine expression of unbridled lust and passion. Too bad night had to 'fall on another day.' Well done Terry! Keith
