Anger

Emotions spark out fire 
a reaction to human displeasure
momentarily far from Kindness.

Blackmail

Hands tied by own deeds 
an ultimatum is issued
with choices squeezed and limited.

Depression

A pressed and half damaged soul 
always embraces negative moods
finding comfort in loneliness.

Disappointment

In fertile soil, hopes germinate 
standing tall on belief’s boots
expectations abruptly shattered.

Goodbye

Time and companionship intertwine 
but everything has a season
outgoing presence is its end.

Jealousy

Great focus on what I don’t have 
painting the emotions so dark
and bows to hate, to take charge.
