Empty Anger

Shards of nude angels
make you feel
surreal.

A metaphor of
empty anger
breaking through
God's masterpiece,
breaking through
you.

Far Into Thought

far into thought,
swimming
through
the ocean,
a mirror for the stars.
enlightened,
head
floating
sky high
too high for birds.
aware,
body
sensing
the truth
most can’t handle.
bold,
minds
speaking
out right

When It Storms

The thunder is a metaphor of the frustration I feel.

The rain – my tears.

The way the winds rip through the trees and destroys pieces of a living being –
just as I rampage in a whirl-wind breaking the spirit of myself and of the ones I love.

When the storm subsides, I cry no more.
My clouds have exhausted themselves.

Although the sun breaks through,
I am left with the guilt of being so harsh
of lashing out…

At the end of the storm,
I find a calm,
but not the peace I was hoping to find.
