Anger or rage

Anger is a dangerous emotion
Yet we need it for our protection
If it turns into rage
then disengage
For exploding will cause great commotion

Words when someone injured my cat
Created a scene of mishap
It was during a heatwave
Which often causes outrage
So beware ,in the  tropics, of  that

 
In any case Rage is distinct
For babies it’s a vital instinct
They feel they will die
Without mothers I
But for adults it’s a mistake, so we think

 

When I say it’s a mistake ,that is wrong
For that assumes control quite prolonged
And in this terrible state
Some folk kill their mate
They’ll never  get back where they belong

 

The red sun rising burns each day in fire

The red sun rising burns  this  day with fire
The terrible,  so strong it   burn  the sea
It torments   human fuses  s on  that wire

What would be  of service in a pyre?
Bring your wood, I am a witch,no plea.
The red sun rising burns  this  day in fire

I tell the truth as much as I aspire
Inconstant to my  feelings I shall be
I feel tormented ,fried by copper wires

The brightness of the sun hits at desire.
I long to feel   great loving arms  snatch me
The red sun rising burns  each day in fire

Read as  message from a  new Messiah
Or prophet in the wilds of history.
I feel afraid   for who plugs in   the wires?

What will come,a slouching beast  we see.
From Bethlehem he  slithers as  we flee
The red sun rising lights this   world in fire
Now, every day ,we’re scorched by funeral pyres.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Again it’s winter in the Natural World

 

Again it’s winter in the Natural World

I saw the snow  fall as  cold clouds unfurled

I like the feeling of  this winter rest

 Though most prefer the heat and summer zest

 

I   like to see the sun like a red ball

On the horizon after  blackbirds call

It tells me  we are animals, we’re flesh

In the  whole of nature we’re enmeshed

 

For now with  artificial light and mobile  phones

We can ignore both  nature  and time zones;

Forget that  we  must communicate  wordless

By touch and sight and feeling, in our flesh.

 

The red sun rising burns   this  day in fire

I stare  now avid with my whole desire.
