Rage of Black Horses
I hear the pounding of black hooves
Resonating within my mind
Through my blood
My soul
------------------
Black horses of rage
Black horses of hate
Manes streaming in the winds
Of my ire
Eyes red from the blood
I've shed
-------------------
The heat of them burns through my flesh
Setting my chest afire
I swear sweet desire's flames leap
From my eyes
-------------------
My hands ache to destroy
Ache to cause pain to the cause
Of this rage
This hateful, degrading feeling
I seem unable to control
-----------------------
At the same time I feel like crying
Shedding the rage as salty, bitter tears
Evaporating upon my face
burning,
Burning from the fires within
-------------------
I do not know how
to control the horses
Flames
feelings
sorrow
of hurting those I love
------------------------
Until I do
The horses rage on
