Anger

Anger looks like a
fiery inferno ready to explode
and consume all around
it

It sounds like a beast
howling in feral rage
thirsty for the blood of
its enemy

It smells like sulfer
from the depths of hell
ready to choke and
strangle the life out
of all living things

It tastes like a sweet
poisen granting you
strength and power
while it destroys you
from the inside

It feels like lava
coursing through your
veins burning away all
thoughts and emotions leaving
only pure fury

hi Eclipse
good poem on this emotion, through all 5 senses.
anger can negatively affect and destroy if left unexamined as to its true essence... our sixth sense is very good for helping with that!

thanks for sharing your write with us rose

Thank you very much. Unfortunetly I learned what Anger was during my earliest days of childhood from my father (now thankfully deceased) he repeatedly flew into mindless rages and would beat me from head to toe, and threaten to kill me if I told anyone, and the scariest part was even though I would feel black and blue all over, his beatings never left a mark on me, I didnt have the courage to reveal this to my mom till I knew my father was dead. To this day its unknown how he was able to beat me seeverely and leave no bruises, one theory is that the white poweder he used to put into my milk was some form of anticoagulent that prevented the bruiseing from forming. After he died I was still left with scars of mental trauma, threw my remaining child hood and teen years I was terrified that because I had his genes I would become evil like my Father. That fear and my determination never to hurt someone like my Father hurt me, are core factors of who I became as a person. I strive instead to help people if I can, and always treat people with the kindness they deserve. To this day though my fathers Shadow, which I have inherited, haunts me.
