summer, Deceit, Anger, death
...
IN THE HEAT OF SUMMER
Heat wave of extended period
Gives the horizon a watery haze
Clouds they build in the distance
And thunder threatens to be break open the skies
But the rain it comes not
Relief from heat of day but a once memory
Hidden memories I yearn
And summer’s heated mirage is all lies
Humidity pushes me past the zone
Sweltering heat envelopes me
Draining slowly all my senses
And who could perceive your fatality
That in the summer makes us all a victim
Falling prey to summer’s storm
That builds slowly through the day
And remind us of our mortality
The air is scorched
And beneath the searing sun I burn
The air is thick as sweat drips down my brow
Waiting for the cooling that’s nothing more than a memory
For I have been to Hades and back
Force of nature the mode of motion
Excessive exposure of fire that now burns within
And summers heat forges it’s violent rage abrasive as emery

ANGER
I
displeasure and hostility one's ire rises
smoldering in murderous rage
denotes the intense fury
the explosion of destruction that keeps man in a cage
II
vented anger with unjust cause
that disorientates my temperment
that rationalisation that provokes
animosity and resentment
III
and umbrage is taken as belligerence is aroused
and rears its ugly head elicits the maddening crowd
IV
I no longer wish to embrace the trouble and vexation
for injurous thou art to me - anger the acid
this vessel can hold thee not
for thou are no longer placid
V
no longer can I cast the burning coals for
blistered and red are mine hands
we cannot abide together you and I
this is my life and now I have demands
VI
I will deal and learn and understand how to master self
but excessive and misplaced I my flagitous conduct
as I come to realise resentment has built a house
and destroy now I the foundations of thy cornerstone
VII
warmth of constitution gives rise to such anger
- I tear down thy roof
high sense of honor that creates such indignation
- I tear down thy walls
and qiuck thy sensibilities that cherishes resentment
- I rip thy floorboards from thy resting place
VIII
for I abhor thou that distempers mine soul
that took delight in deceving me and now
the rebuilding must begin without retreat
IX
manifest the forgiveness the forebearance of time
and tense not the bodies muscles but relax
in calm for I no longer desire to wound myself
and predictable you have been and release now
thy hold from the almond structure of mind
X
as humbly I seek the grace as the cortex takes the upper hand
I give all to my Lord in humility before Him lowly I stand
and know that breathing in the Spirit will make thee impotent

A SPITEFUL HEART
For all those who care
for nothing nought
but to show one's
hatred and spite
Embittered by life
and not happiness be
save in the crooked heart
that seeks to fight
Laugh and mock
deride those hurting
your future crushed
by presents hate
Spawns the wielded words
and bubbles the turmoil
dragging in the gullible
creating loveless state.
Spite and hate be the
emblem upon your sleeve
when cruel intentions
seek to deceive...
But care not
worry not
whom you hurt in your wake
for there comes a time
for all to face that all
must passage through
and give account of every word
that weighs such spite in kind
look around and what
do you see but fooled
breath from venoms
blood that spills
keen to rally and poison
but keen are they to
take delight to tear
down those so suffering
no remedy for hate of black
covered in piercing thorns
save love's spilled blood
that oft such hate rejects
and in the end it's love
that wins the day over
hates deep abyss and
quells, restores twisted no more

Anger, rage, innocent, poison
...
AGAINST THE RAGING TIDE
Unpredictable it wells up inside
that seeks a willing victim
persecuted by lifes storm and tide
Dismayed by worldly deceit
Burns the heart now fallen
the heart now stricken with defeat
Fierce strength gains own momentum
that lashes out at the innocent
the raging heart - this menace phantom
Fear fed from indignant cause
grows hungry by the hour that
takes not breath nor even pause
Poison pierced lightly to red red heart
spreads it's evil root from
it's hateful laden dart
Dwelling darkness comes to light
with all and sundry
it seeks it's prey to fight
But resist I from this raging tide
of burning anger
that no longer will hide
Face my wrath and dispel
sending it on it's way
no place here for it to dwell
The sign above doors heart say
mind and spirit a purchased price
For love has come to stay
So against the raging tide there be
but one solution
the love of God - a sure remedy
So take the hand of prayer
and solace - walk closely
in its step and live the life of fair
For rage is over rated
and anger a bitter twisted
companion constantly unsated
"Give me a place to rest "
you hear anger call
"I promise not to let you fall"
but false the words of angers rage
sweet justification it now claims
keen to set your minds new stage
"I will give you comfort for all your pain"
whispers sweetly in your ear
but you should fear it's hateful stain
And fight against the raging tide
and know that peace is yours
and take life within your stride
