Love dressed in Anger
Death has come
And it isn't
By knife or gun
Dragged burned
And stabbed
What have I learned
Not bandage,
Injection or elixir
Can cure loves vestige
Anger is bound
To this hollow space
Where the heart isn't found
Love lingers
In a empty vessel
Feeling deaths fingers
Far down without light
Squeezing every ounce
Left of loves fight
Twinkling far above
Is a place of hope
Flying high as a dove
Hard to reach
When anger is strong
On the river Styx beach
How to exact my escape
From the dark far down
On angers cape
Review Request (Intensity):
I want the raw truth, feel free to knock me on my back
Review Request (Direction):
What did you think of my title?
What did you think of the rhythm or pattern or pacing?
How was the beginning/ending of the poem?
Last few words:
I am so tired of writing of the good side of love, I decided to write of the side of love that break a heart and brings on blinding anger.

Dear Eddie,
"Love dressed In Anger" !!! What a scary and alarming thought! What dark ideas that brings to the reader! Great title!
Anger is bound
To this hollow space
Where the heart isn't found
Love lingers
In a empty vessel
Feeling deaths fingers

You are to kind and generous and I always appreciate your visits.

LIFE ISN'T ABOUT WAITING FOR THE STORM TO PASS
IT'S ABOUT LEARNING HOW TO DANCE IN THE RAIN.
