Anger

So the silence rages in your head,

You believe all love is dead.

Diets of bitter seeds fed,

This is life this is where you have fled.

 

Around you on eggshells we tread

Lofty promises and laughter shred

Blackened you have taken to your bed.

Opening old wounds and the past long dead.

 

Here I come with glowing smiles all clad.

You bite your lip, you believe you led,

To the undoing, love crimson red.

 Still to the demons of your mind you are wed.

I agree with Angelink, I think that last line is the most powerful and thus my favourite. I like that it takes the struggle with this emotion in to the spiritual realm, as well as having it displayed out in the world and within oneself. Very good write.

well rhymed and metered poem. You captured the essense of the feeling and how it can eat you from the inside out..well done

[recantichize]

the last lines of the first stanza are absolutely my favorite! so very unique.
also, did you mean tread in the first line of the second stanza? thread there is confusing to me.

Wed to the demons of your mind ?
Excellent write.
True love does not run smooth,
with some of us it fails to run at
all.

Glad you have an outlet for some of that anger. Holding it inside can tear you apart.

Wow, well written and speaks to me. Walking on eggshells, wed to demons... The day I got divorced was one of the happiest of my life all because she never could let go of her anger. Thanks for a great poem. :)

This is such an imposing poem. It is full of raw, powerful emotions and the consistent rhyming and fast pace add to the intensity of anger. Nicely penned. Thank you.
