As I walk the deathless waste foreboding stings my eyes,
Doom follows in my footsteps shadowing every move,
So I wander alone taking my scourge with me,
Hand in hand with fear and loathing,
Breaking my fast with the sacred and profane,
God has got a thunderbolt for me,
Pending the judgement of my next actions,
Undaunted I will do what I must,
For vengence sake..
Though this sacrilage holds no answers,
Once more I move into the fray,
Seeking ways that lead to nirvana,
Muddied and confused,
So unlike the crystaline paths winding to nadir,
Stepping stones no human dares to tread,
Unfortunatly unknowing, inevitabley we go,
Like pebbles in a landslide,
Swept up on the crest of a terra-formed wave,
Only to be brought crashing into the rock,
Though matter is the illusion of energy condensed,
Misinformed and poised on the brink of crises,
With tunnel vision spearing into certainty,
And a myriad of lies,
Tangled nets of gossamer webs,
Insanity encroaching,
Like the tides that move the oceans,
Comforted by flotsam brought,
And the ravings of a madman.

WOW!!!!! I am in love with you now. Well at least with your talent. The imagery and emotions are just amazing. I especially loved the last four lines.
"Insanity encroaching,
Like the tides that move the oceans,
Comforted by flotsam brought,
And the ravings of a madman."
It kinda reminds me of the homeless guy named David that I would buy breakfast for when he would come into McDonalds.
Best of luck in the contest,
Really dont think you need it though cause, WOW!!!

You have such an incredible presence, if only in words, when you speak... Great use of imagery; sullen shards of revelation, begging for release. Very well articulated write. Wonderfully dark and poignant!
-
wow, that was amazing. You took me to a dark place, I had no idea where we were going, to the brink of insanity, that moment of pain, stress or anger, where we become something or someone else.
Powerfel poem! Thanks for your entry and good luck.

Outstanding!!!!
You do not wander alone my friend and fear and loathing shall come to pass... there is no thunderbolt with your name on I am sure... perhaps no so for myself!
You always take me on such a ride with your writes... I bow to you my Dark Lord!
