Anger
by DarkRiver

The dusk it crawls over my skin
The oceans drink the sun
The night is gently closing in
The shadows leap and run

Great mother moon shines down on me
Shines pale, shines cold like bone
The stars, they keep her company
But I, I'm all alone

A storm is brewing in the sky
I turn around and see
That I am standing in it's eye
It's center, it is me

The rain is falling down on me
The clouds, they cry my tears
The wind speaks of my agony
My pain, my loss, my fears

And then it whips the oceans face
The waves rear up in pain
The leaves, they ride the wind with grace
All wild as if insane

The lightening strikes down in a tree
And sets it's branches aflame
My eyes are blinded, but I see
I'll never be the same

My aching heart is filled with rage
My eyes all wild and wide
Emotions I kept in a cage
But now no longer hide

And thunder, lightening's brother roars
Throughout the valleys deep
And I roar back, my voice all coarse
To stir the moon's fast sleep

My clenched fist t'wards the sky above
I curse, I swear, I cry
"Just why am I denied her love
Just tell me, tell me why"

The lightening sets the woods aflame
Down from the lofty height
The smoke goes whence the lightening came
The flames lick at the night

I look up to the silent moon
And silent it remains
But I, I won't give up so soon
My blood boils in my veins

I'm wet, I'm cold, I'm all alone
But burning deep inside
My heart it feels like made of stone
I spread my arms out wide

The very earth beneath does shake
Does tremble, shiver, moan
Destruction I leave in my wake
The path I walk alone

The leaves caught fire from a flame
The flaming dance of fire
The rain it tries, but may not tame
The fire's fiery ire

The very land, it feels my loss
It shivers, cries, and burns
And in the winds, my voice I toss
The ring of leaves it turns

"She is the only thing I crave
I long for and I need
And since the day my heart I gave
Forever it does bleed

Her smile it makes the flowers bloom
Her soul as pure as snow
Her presence lights the darkest room
Her eyes, they seem to glow

I need her gentle, soft, kind voice
The bright glint in her eye
I feel that I'm left with no choice
I feel as if I'd die

I need her touch, I need her near
Her eyes, her scent, her soul
There's nothing that I hold more dear
My heart burns like a coal

Is there no justice in my life
I ask you, mother moon above
In vain was all my pain and strife
My passion and my love

I'm left with nothing, but my grief
My never ending sorrow
It feels so cruel I believe
That I need no tomorrow"

And crying, I seep to my knees
A heap, a hole, a husk
Amidst the storm, the burning trees
Awaiting my own dusk

But dawn, it crawls over my skin
The skies, they drink the sun
The day is gently closing in
The day, it has begun
