Stygian Rider

He is coming for me the stygian rider on his hellish steed whose nostrils spit fire he is coming he is coming for me. Entrenched and fortified my heart trembles seems resigned to this reality this inevitability this clash of overlords divided mind and heart contentious and combative. All for sacred sanctity questionable ties their truth their way an epic struggle two worlds colliding battling and warring over their precious notions quintessential hostilities. The earth rumbles mud filled trench thick with despair stench of vomit the rider approaches axe wielded high his awful visage fixed on me his terrifying shriek he is here he is here he is here for me.

I like this, it gave me a sword and sorcery kind of feeling. Actually, I saw the title and thought about author Robert E. Howard and his character Conan. Looks like you might be hanging around a bit...good. Haven't been through all your poetry yet.

Thanks J! I truly appreciate the time that you took to post a thoughtful comment on my poem. This piece speaks to a time that my heart and mind were at serious conflict with one another over a particular woman (who ended up becoming my wife, btw).
