I tighten my grip on the moment and wince against the force,
my thoughts, abrupt and untameable, run riot through reason,
and tested and tortured I accelerate towards the first eruption
incapable of calm,
angry am I
and I mean harm
my will fragmented I fight to keep control,
unpredictable and erratic, I am derived of this beast unleashed on my soul,
if reason could conquer I would pray for all
incapable of calm,
angry am I
and I mean harm
but limited are the merits of my foe, suddenly departed
and in its place hastens despair,
curtailed at the brink of destruction I stand bereft and abandoned,
the penitent man,
angry I was
defeated I am.
Brilliant!! my favourite so far
ReplyDeleteIf Stevie Ray Vaughan had written poetry it would have sounded like this.....top stuff!

Remind me not to get in your way when you are feeling like that!
ReplyDeleteVery intense verse. Was there a particular occurence that inspired it?
Yes and No, I allowed myself to explore anger a little, not very pleasant, and combined it with a driving incident where some nutter left me feeling the need to vent! Needless to say I didn't!
