Fiery Furnace

Fiery Furnace

A Poem by Dennis Shanaberg
"

What means more to you: Anger or Love?

"

Just shut his mouth.
He’s got nothing to say.
I just want to 
Give him a reason to pray.
Make him eat his speech.
The foul words he does preach.
Make him catch a glance of Hell.
Help friends see beyond his spell.

I’ve got a fire in my eyes.
I’ve got a fire in my eyes.
Burning after him.
Burning into him.
Burning him down.
Ashes on the ground.
I’ve got a fire in my eyes.
And then I look in yours.
And you help me to feel
What I know I should do.
Because I know I don’t love
My anger more than you.

Furnace in me
Burning ever hotter.
Now, on the edge,
My reason starts to totter.
My fists clench as steel.
The shadows I can feel.
Darkness seems moments away.
It seems time to make him pay.

I’ve got a fire in my eyes.
I’ve got a fire in my eyes.
Burning after him.
Burning into him.
Burning him down.
Ashes on the ground.
I’ve got a fire in my eyes.
And then I look in yours.
And you help me to feel
What I know I should do.
Because I know I don’t love
My anger more than you.

The Furnace in me.
The Fire in you.
First, you melt me.
Then, you meld me.
You turn the dragon into a dove.
You turn the hatred into our love.
Nothing can break this.
Although they could try.
Nothing can break this.
Nothing can break this.
Nothing can break this kiss.

I’ve got a fire in my eyes.
I’ve got a fire in my eyes.
Burning after him.
Burning into him.
Burning him down.
Ashes on the ground.
I’ve got a fire in my eyes.
And then I look in yours.
And you help me to feel
What I know I should do.
Because I know I don’t love
My anger more than you.

you did a good job and it was fun to read.
and even though there were repeated stanzas, nothing wasn't annoyingly over said.
