High Atop A Crumbling Peak Poem by Noah Body

High atop a crumbling peak
Whipped by driven gales
Eager to hurl me off
Up above a gray, turbulent sky
Writhes with the beat of madness
Split asunder in violent cracks
Jagged flashes rend tumultuous clouds
Birthing ionized radicals
And crushing sonic booms
Pounding frozen hydrogen dioxide
Predatory in it's focused intent
Single mindedly bent upon destruction
Hungry in it's need to smash me down

On one side the one time haven
A turbulent, throbbing, seething mass
Inundates the defensive levees
Smashing them with driven madness
All succor lost to passing eons
Now suppurates in ttwisted chaos

The other side an abysmal pit
Infinite immensity raging with hate
A malevolent icy cold darkness
Rife with turbulent hell fire
A sea of conflagrant teeth
Ravenously needful to burn and shred
Heart, soul and mind to eradicate

Precarious atop the vanishing peak
The battered protective bubble stressed
By the endless eons of savage assault
Depleted beyond exhaustion's boundary
Degraded by spider webbed fractures
Still holds against unrelenting onslaught
How much more can it's integrity take?
How long can it continue to endure?
At what point comes the final rupture?
That presages the end of all that's me?
