Rage

Rage is the demon of faultless nightmares

 

Rage

By jack

 

Rage aborts the future

In violent belief

A cataclysmic photograph

Albeit often brief

 

Bursting veins of razors

Slashing to the bone

Cutting quick, cutting deep

Ugliness is shown

 

Eyes of burning nature

Words profane a’ flung

Standing firm upon the hand

Gripping tight the wrung

 

Disaster forms the outcome

A sinking ship does sail

For rage shall take the winners

And cause them all to fail

Thank you for reading

this is so different from your usual sentiment...so used to your love poems...i really like this turnabout...

and i could feel the anger welling up inside the speaker...

[Jack...]

Thanks so very much Jacob

Wow! Now that is some...rage! lol. Another break away from the norm for you but I really like it. It's dark, infested with malignant delight, and it is delicious in its entirety. You've penned something wonderful, just like you always do.

Thanks so much Kristin. I appreciate you stopping by and leaving such nice comments for me.

Rage shall take the winners and cause them all to fail. So very true. I am prone to purging my baser nature in poetry so I would be one to tell you - write it down and write it out till the poetic ink runs clear.

[Jack...]

Tammy. my sweet friend. I was wondering where you ran off to. Thank you so very much.

[TL Boehm]

oh - its just rotten at my day job. That is all

[Jack...]

Just put on a happy face...

I like the warning in the end, but hope it doesn't pertain to anyone's creative spirit. Take it easy brother, stress never helped anyone.

[Jack...]

Stress-fire is a constant for me my friend.

[Astro]

Let it go out, you are warm enough.

[Jack...]

Sorry my friend, slip of the fingers. I meant to write stress-free

[Astro]

at ease then soldier

[rhythm&blues]

Human nature unfortunately, there's anger and then there's the fearful and destructive rage you write so poignantly here, nice job.

[Jack...]

Thank you R&B. Sometimes we just need to let it out.

I love, love, love this!I It's bursting with emotion and uses such amazing imagery that I could just feel the sting of the heat from the words. I was excited to see you had sent me a read request, glad to see you back!

Thank you so much my friend.

Such words of "rage" blazing like fire in each line, the imagery you captured here, like being trapped inside a burning inferno of rage's hell. Very insightful...and the fluidity of this poem is almost lyrical...wonderful use of imagery and choice of words. Thanks for sharing! :)

[Jack...]

Thank you so much for reading and commenting

[ms. barrie]

you're very welcome, Jack. :)

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Ha Jack has anger too!.....

[Jack...]

Don't make me mad John...thanks

[Brett Pritchard]

Lovely visceral quality to this one Jack. Something of a departure for you my friend. Very different to your usual pieces celebrating the beauty of life or sadness of solitude.
This delves into deeper darker waters and I like it....
