Temper Temples Poem by John Sensele

Temper, you're lightning
That strikes with a bang
Severs social sorties in the evening
Only to vanish in the wake of slang clang.

Temper, you're embers
That singe redhot
Metamorphosing carbon from slumbers
Only to hypnotize hot heads in one shot.

Temper, you're a tsunami
That surges six meters high
As anger ascends Sesame
Only for loneliness to cry.

Temper, you're thunder
That roars in rendez vous
Where lovebirds under
The influence of the heart queue.
