Love and Rage
When emotions rise
Rage
Wipe a tear from my eyes
They run down to my chin
Hits, yell and call for help
Many mad red mark made
Pain and hurt felt
Sore ribs, jaw, arms and hand
Blue and grey spot on hips and neck
Run and hide and wait for help
Love
Lips call in lust to me
Meet mine soft and with care
Hold and pull me in
Hand on hip, nose to nose
Hand goes up my back to my neck and held my chin
Lips part and heat rose
Love is in the air
It can all feel the same
‘Till it does not…

“It can all feel the same til it does not” oh my gosh that’s so true 😩❤️. Wonderful work, Donna!!
Yay! Congrats on an amazing Top Story, Donna! So pleased to see this here!
That's a great poem. A nice idea to talk about both love and rage, as they can be weirdly in the same category of emotion with us humans. It's hard writing a poem with only 4 letter words (I tried and gave up for now 😅) so it's really nice seeing how you did this deep poem with this restriction.
I truly enjoyed the contrast between the tenderness of love and pain of rage. Also the poem was vivid and in sync.
This struck me somewhere way deep down. I don't know exactly where, why, or how, but I'm still reeling from the impact. Beautifully done!
Mmmm I felt this 🙃
Heart felt and well written x
I really love what you did with this piece. The comparison between hitting out with a hand and the bruises on hips with the tender hand on another's hip was beautiful! Well Done!
very well written!
