Dawn & Dusk

My heart burned black
Festering with fury
Anger glowered as embers
Scorching inside me

Bitterness oozed out
Viscous like oil
My skin blistered with rage
Throbbed with boils

I knew this anger
Would eat me alive
So I planted something
Deep inside

A golden seed
Of truth and hope
That purged my clogged arteries
With silvery soap

And that cursed inferno
Began to recede
As golden weaves healed
This wound in me
