Duel to the death

By Stephanie Sideways

A disallowed
heart invasion,
fanciful saboteur

Twisted battle
of wills
Id, superego
Arms length
throat lock



Just stop




What would bring peace?
Duel to the death
That's all

    loved that you referenced Id...combat is such a primal urge afterall...well done, short and concise; yet subtly profound

    Sounds like somebody is trying to give you the old Vulcan mind f**k, don't fall for it, some people have to win at all costs (pity them). Good to see you posting again!

  • A former member wrote: An internal fight within oneself always can be told the same as a dispute with another. No matter how you see it, there's always a death at the end. Beautiful

  • A former member wrote: Just as the ashes of wildfires bring new growth, the ashes of mankind too do the same. Lovely write.
