Train a Tempered Thought

Trail away an impatient notion
A stoaked up heated locomotion
Keeping leveled mind as whole
Added coal takes convulsing arteries toll

Bites of charred coal triggers bitter spews
Madness chews, and choe's, chew and choe's
Aggrivate me to smoldering speeds
Added coal boils blood like riled up steeds

Anger steams conciousness into misty dreams
Keeping calm cancelled by cardinal killer screams
Open deeds reveal character devotions
Added coal coaxes furious emotions

Train of raging tempered thought
Not contained, refrained or caught 
Careful not to lose your temper
You might just never again find her.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Have a blessed day.
