A short poem I wrote a few years ago, to release pent-up anger after an argument.
I want to breathe fire,
And watch the world burn from a kiss.
I want to see the sky choke to death
On the smoke from my furious hiss.

I want to fall like an oak tree,
And crush all that lies beneath.
I want to see the glory of Nature
Dashed into mulch as I seethe.

I want to rise up like the sea,
A hundred-foot wave with cacophonous rage
And devour all those who oppose me.

I want to move like a twister,
And pull up the land as I pass.
I want to see the world spin away
And destroy all that stands in my path

I want to roll with the thunder,
Stand on a storm-cloud and bellow my wrath;
Watch the wide world shrink away from my roar
See them scatter when they hear my crash.

I want to strike like the lightning,
Brighten the shadows and darken the sun.
I want to stamp like an earthquake,
To shake the planet apart as I run.

I want to blaze like a comet,
Eating up space and burning the night.
I need to pour like a flash-flood,
Drowning whatever's in sight.

I want to be Armageddon,
And tear down all that you have created.
I want your world to crumble before me,
And not stop til this rage has abated.
