Anger

Swirls of discontent

Ignights a somber mood inside

Words hung tho' unlightly ment

Emotions dulled, lightly hide

Powerful outburst a riptide

Waves cresting over the sail

Thoughts driven from behind

Explosive as an ocean's gale

Seen with wonder as a sunset

Majestic reds and purples of anger

Temperature builds handsbegintofret

Total loss of composure

        But in seconds the waste is past

        A calm zephyr ripples on the mast

Author's Note

Your imagery is explosive here!
Also, I always personally find anger liquid hot. It reminds me too much of fire and the rage and destruction that can encompass one. I don't usually think of water/the sea or ships. So for me this was a refreshing change. It made me think and look at the words and the emotions therein in a different context.
Thank you for sharing this!

"Powerful outburst a riptide" brilliant line.
You have described an angry outburst so very well...you captured the emotion flawlessly. Nice rhthym, even, and easy to relate to. You are quite talented.

Beautiful imagery here - I think, and this my just be my opinion, that often with an abundance of imagery, the reader tends to lose focus & meaning in a work.
