A Roaring Dragon Spewing Fire

Rating: 5.0


Try to be bigger than your skin allows
See farther than your eyes show
Never allow a moment's doubt
Turn you into a roaring
Dragon spewing fire
Bristling with
Evil intent
Full of
Anger
Fear
Poison
Builds up
In your system
Let love rebuild
Bring confidence and
Trust, never turn to ash
What's the benefit that you
Can fumigate, exterminate anyone
Who incurs your ire, deserves fire
Jealousy can never turn wrong to right
Investigate but only with a hope to vindicate

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
When I miss someone and receive no word about his whereabouts, many thoughts enter my mind. The first thought is whether he's doing everything possible to contact me, and if not, what is his reason. Then, arrows of doubt assail me, left and right, pricking me until the fearsome creature in me arises, a thing from my past, but who's always there to balance my kind and helpful selfless nature. Duality is experiential for me, extremes of nature present in one person. The reason why I avoided loving too much is that I could also hate too much. Don't judge please, but learn.
COMMENTS OF THE POEM
Doris Cornago 20 July 2017

We have this creature in us - they say reptilian - but we can learn to control by understanding what sets it off. Love is never the antidote for anger because you can be blinded by both. Understanding and meekness, a middle stream, allow a boundary that anger and love need so they can't both go out of bounds and cause destruction.
