Emotional temper soars
rage blurs the mind’s vision
voices reach astounding decibels
heart beat escalates, matching the tempo
tirade of harsh words spew venom
fiery frustrations fold in clenched fists
high voltage drama unfolds.
A blazing inferno fetters the soul
sinks under a dark ocean of wrath
wreaks havoc of toxicity
relationships develop fragile cracks
bonds of friendship scar
dents an irreversible damage.
Time deflates the swollen ire
the gossamer clouding the mind, moves
perspective shifts
streaks of regret get highlighted.
Stay away from soaring tempers
for its aftermath is filled with rueful woe.

Well written. It is better not to speak when one is angry. My husband does that 😊. I find it a little difficult but I try my best to keep quiet.

I agree Lakshmi. If we keep quiet for a few mins the anger automatically subsides. Thanks a lot.
