The Anger Within

Anger moves slowly in covering its subject,
Cast by a shadow of hatred,
His throat bubbles as hot as steam,
Its aversion burning through him,
Abhorrence drips of spoken daggers slicing through his enemy.
Stunning poor Romeo, Tybalt is a spinning blade of hatred and regret.
With a yell of fury, he unleashes the anger,
His rapier raised and ready to attack.
Tybalt is pure anger!
