Slamming Doors

The sound of anger is a silent one,
Don’t you know?
A deaf tone ringing, Vibrating then nothing 
An alliteration of explosive hollow emotions
 Replete with intoxicating truths

Words exchanged broke these smiles 
But are meaningless before doors slam 
Slamee or slammer does it matter?
For after these doors slam
We say what we mean

Yep! Anger can be soooo silent, at which point it may be worse that the noise. Great write Ron. Thanks for visiting and love your hearty comment. One love. Joy Wells

Ah, how painful silence can be and yes, anger can be so silent and say so much, it can tear the soul--- I really like this, Ronny...I have been trying to write a poem on silence as well, hopefully I can finish it soon-- you have managed to wrap up silence with a few lines...thank you btw for passing by my poem, glad you like it...

Slamming doors is symbolical, I know of muggers slamming doors, police too does that, angry husband or wife, young people also, representing vexed spirit of different kind of people....... Doors are being slammed when those wonderful smiles go away. Nice poem.....
