Crossroads Tale: Synopsis

Crossroads Tale: Synopsis Jumbled, fumbled thoughts fester floors such a toxicologist, bleeding heart ignores, Channels his veins neath tiled floors of a bar joint worked by whores, His essence fills the walls challenged by cigarettes, cigars, concoctions and lonely tear ducts that drains and fills the devil's brew of tasteless breakups In all off this bruhaha he gathers his thoughts of what has or to be somewhere is a guitar, who had bested the best, Little did he know that one who he had blasted in that match was, the master The young man brought vigor to one who was stale but hungered, as challenged less became his demise for none in the world would daringly despise So it was winning or losing for the master knew the kid had already won irrespective as being challenged was the determining factor, For they both won because the master was finally challenged, by a boy who offered his soul to be the best and on return, he gave him a free ticket to fame. ------------------------------ 2019 September 15 *2nd Place* Crossroads ~~Silent One
