Red Anger

response to a Poetry Challenge; theme: Anger Management note: original image

I see your face, mouth moving furiously,

Eyes flashing high emotion

And I see your hands waving around

But it's all going in slow motion

And I don't hear a sound

I'm so tired of your red anger

Tired of always feeling in danger

Holding my head underwater,

Trying not to drown--

The weight of your fury

Constantly holding me down

While your insults and complaints

Keep flying 'round and 'round

And I think about the green days

And nights of ultra blue

Hours filled with golden haze

When I was me, and you were you

But you grab me, shake me, jar me

Back into the present day

Back into your red-hot anger

And I cannot look away

Until your searing eyes scar me

With their finely focused laser ray

Then I see your sincere confusion

As you're wondering where to go

To get back into Love's illusion

And I don't answer, but I know

There is nothing left

For me to give,

Even though I stay;

The fire of your anger

Has burned it all away.

a relationship in a nutshell, the hidden meaning word give off a dark dark dark point of view. Great piece, makes you think and that's some of the best ones

He is possessed!
An infusion of cinnamon with common-salt, paisley and sage with some garlic paste and sugar cubes will drive it out.
Have him back then as he was when u were u and he was him.
