Atop a mountain of crave
And there I stood, atop a mountain of crave. In front of me a misty forest of hope lay. I ran and descended deep, ignoring all fears, till I left behind everything but what I feel. Oh her sweet voice, how much I miss. To me, even hearing her name is bliss. I can't say no more, my breath has...

In My Window Atop the World
In my window Atop the world, I see you smile, traces of sadness you attempt to hide, happiness that lacks. In my window Atop the world, I see you smile, Tears hidden by A mask with cracks. In my window Atop the world, I see you crumble, your perfect facade breaking down, little by little, piece by piece. In my window Atop the world, I see...

Atop This Wall
Why should I try to make sense of it all when thus far all endeavors have failed? Why should I struggle to win in this world when each chance that I’ve had I’ve assailed? What can I make of the pieces that lie broke and scattered in front of my view? What is the purpose of picking them up when it’s clear...

Premium Member The Captain Sails Atop the Storm
Like sitting upon a sail at the storm’s peak, riding its mastery, and black and blue artistry. Underneath the vessel’s feet, it’s troubled us to flip us end to end, to break its back. Pale is the moon under many a gossamer sheet of the criminal-clouds. The sun likewise quivers, a sickly-green hue, as the seaweed, underneath the careening boat, moves either...

Revelations from Poet Atop A Mountain After an arduous climb to the top of the mountain, I looked back to see them looking at me; Waiting for an answer, they queried, “What do you see; ‘O Great One’ of the Ming Dynasty?” What could I see?
