The soft orange intensifies
And rises up to roar
It meets the sky
Burning with rage
Breathing with the air
Consuming it, spitting
It swirls in response
Gusting and blowing, chagrined
Ruffling the leaves and riffling the sand
Bending the reeds and breaking the land
Maintaining it countenance
But the ground groans
And sighs and shudders
And cracks and moans
Like a lover
It quakes with passion
And shakes with ire
Marks indelible on honest land
Unlike the silvery liquid
That washes ashore
It seems insipid
Uninspired by lore
Altogether astounding then
Is its wrath
That breaks upon the shore
And breaks upon the rocks
Unforgiving it is
Anger
And rises up to roar
It meets the sky
Burning with rage
Breathing with the air
Consuming it, spitting
It swirls in response
Gusting and blowing, chagrined
Ruffling the leaves and riffling the sand
Bending the reeds and breaking the land
Maintaining it countenance
But the ground groans
And sighs and shudders
And cracks and moans
Like a lover
It quakes with passion
And shakes with ire
Marks indelible on honest land
Unlike the silvery liquid
That washes ashore
It seems insipid
Uninspired by lore
Altogether astounding then
Is its wrath
That breaks upon the shore
And breaks upon the rocks
Unforgiving it is
Anger

Thanks for the explanation, I swear I would have never understood this otherwise!
And it makes even more sense because I am quite angry with quite a lot of things right now!
Well written, so well that I didn't get it in the first go. :p
Cheers!
I was thinking this is about thunder and lightning, but that probably coz I'm obsessed with them.
Very nicely written, especially the last para. More than anything I would like to say that the metaphors did a great job of creating a metaphysical scenery and counterpointed the underlying humanity of the poet's soul. :D
@"Untitled"= You're beautiful! You're beautiful! You're beautiful.. It's true!! :D :D :D
@You= Ain't so bad either.. :P
Ummmm, okay.. A better comment before you actually come and kill me :|
Very well-written, it reminds of the 'West Wind', Shelley.. Which has gotta be a good thing :D
And I would have to disagree with Mish here, 'cos this one makes a lot more sense than your previous post :P
Heh, keep up the good work..muah!
I could totally see double meaning there :)
unintentional perhaps?
haha.
more seriiously.
loved it.
Hey there,
Stumbled upon your blog randomly.
Though a little abstract for me, I loved how you used the words to get a flow. You kicked in this sense of imagery...brilliant.
You're good. =)
