PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

It wasn't the danger

so much

as it was

the oh so calm

the sweat beaded

above

my twice mopped brow

with

the gallop of a wild pulse

along side

the slickness of my palm

the unknown up ahead

taunted my doubts

with its magnetic menacing

veneer

I was

in essence

utterly sick to myself

with unbelievable fear

one of the priceless savers

of all men.................
