Glowing Embers

I gave you mine,

You gave me yours,

No time to think

And none to pause.

Go back one blink

Or one ahead,

Its all the same,

And to boot, so lame!!

A misdirected word here,

An aim missed and a cut there,

That’s all it takes,

The beast awakes,

Avenge it must,

The knife it will thrust,

No matter what, or where.

And such, my friend, is anger,

You can put out the fire,

But all it needs,

Is one small swish,

A whiff, a hint,

All it needs,

Is just one, tiny little ember.
