Livid With Rage Poem by Doris Cornago

Livid With Rage



Your chains bind me!
Untie me, I long to be free!
Against chains, chafe to escape
Made of silken black cord
More of an adornment yet
Teasing you, taunting you
Said you cannot have me...

Wait, you are unbound,
Not really a helpless hound
Not aground, wings can fly
You got tied of your own accord
If this is the source of discord
Let us now loosen what ties up
You've said these placidly...

What is it that you see
Perfumed harlots against me?
Livid with rage at the umbrage
Blazed into crystal clear eyes
Snowflake drifted, we knew why
You smiled and took my hand
Made me sit by your side...

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Lack of communication wears away the foundations of a relationship. It is sometimes better to let go strong emotions, and be done with them no matter how awkward, than to have them rankle and rot. A man should understand jealousy and work at ways to prevent its occurrence no matter how unfounded. From the poet's experience, jealousy spices up the relationship a bit, but with the right timing and frequency. Too often might also completely untie the chain that binds.
