by Stark Hunter


Into the breach the multitudes surge,
Into the crushing breakers and
Beyond the sucking mindless tides,
Down down into the whirring, rushing confluence,
Precipitously we fall and slide,
Tenuously and tragically we slip.
We are the watchers of the wasted!
We are the watchers of the dancing...

Does This Make Sense?
 
Some will find they’re at odds with opinions expressed

Feeling hopeless, helpless and lost.

When things were at their lowest ebb,
And I felt I was trapped in a spider's...

Baneful brickbats begat grievous barrier

Tell tale indelible woe y'all
privy to learn yours truly harbors
traces of the masterful
impregnable prepubescent wall
still extant scads of decades since
complex edifice erected to force tall

marooned, and furloughed ready for pall

Standing on a snow-capped peak
Tasting the crispness of the cold,sharp air
I gaze down upon the verdant pastures hazy
Whence I began my journey.
Soft and sweet were those days,
Carefree and full of frolic.
But the way was to become steeper and bleaker
With pitfalls and dead ends.
At times adrenalin...
