My rage is a river, and it is deep Unto this predestined course I keep The water is dark, bubbling, and hot As to where I rise and flood, I heed not Then I subside, concealing mighty wrath Only to rise again; drowning all in my path My rage is a volcano lying in wait Ancient guardian, full of unbridled hate People near spark my killing lust I spit forth ashes of dark choking dust Then I explode in molten fury Raining death, I become judge and jury My rage is a hurricane pounding the shore Gaining speed, building power all the more I blacken the skies and deafen the ears With my cold breath, like cutting shears Twisting and spinning my way onto land I hold all in the palm of my closing hand My rage is a terrible earthquake I make the land shiver and shake Tearing down man-made trees of steel Opening my mouth to taste my meal No discrimination, only un-sated appetite I make everything tremble at my might My rage is time itself most of all I make noble civilizations rise, then fall |

I bet your one of those road rage poets huh? (KIDDING) you really have been giving me my poetic fix today...hope your not gonna run out of poems. later JM You're going to hear my voice in the morning calling your name And know my love and my desperation were one and the same... Baby it's alright... Take this pain and all this sadness It's alright Take this rain You're going to be free... Jackson Browne *I love you baby* |

You are too funny, and too kind JM. This is yet another high school one, written at first while i was really pissed, but the imagery of natural disasters as metaphors overwhelmed me and i ended up just writing a poem kinda tongue in cheek. I've got LOTS more. At least 13 years more...*L* [This message has been edited by JML (edited 02-29-2000).] |

When you see that kind of rage in a person, it is frightening to think someone can be filled with all that anger and hate. But it is even more frightening when you feel it growing inside yourself. You get eaten by it and it takes forever and a day to squelch it. I am still trying, there are bits still laying around in my soul.
