powerful emotions

Anger

filled

me

I felt

my heart

pound

as I

held myself

to keep

from

raising my voice

insisting

unnecessarily

appearing the fool

the evening

was suddenly cool

we said

goodnight

I turned

to leave

but then

You pulled

my head

towards you

to kiss

my lips

and

I was suffused

with

warmth

and then

I understood

the connection

between

passion

and

anger.
