Not Angry

I’m not angry!

Hot, white fire.

A welding torch,

Enough to sear,

Enough to crackle and scream.

I want to hear that pain pouring out.

To suffer.

To burn.

I don’t hate.

Cold, hard yes, hate no.

Losing myself.

A shattering roar of rage.

Burning, freezing, breaking, destruction.

All because of YOU!

You make me feel.

You bring the hidden out of me.

That dangerous part that is kept safely away,

That part I know destroys me, and you, and all around.

Witness me!

See.

I will just split the ground,

Tear the sky,

No, I’m not angry,

I smile,

Sweet, kind, tender

The fire tongues quenched by closed lips,

A held breath.

But I see that flinch in your eyes as you feel the stroke of my mind,

That burning tendril of icy fire slipping around your thoughts,

Through your thoughts,

Ready to flay.

I'm really nice really.

i love the little snippets
like the thoughts of someone consumed by an emotion
unable to string together complex phrases
little white-hot irons
spit about in spats of anger
"that flinch in your eyes as you feel the stroke of my mind"
great line
betrays the demeanor of the speaker relative to the other
nice piece

Ready to flay, fray the mother... Lol.

I'm glad I'm not him! But i know you're nice. Ultimately you said you weren't mad.

Puerto Rican women on the other hand...

Interesting wordplay - this piece creates a duality of thoughts between pain and pleasure; almost masochistic in its presentation. I liked the string of words near the end 'burning tendril of icy fire' ... nice!
And ... I believe you when you say ... "I'm really nice really". :-)
