Life or Something Less


Silver seas of faces
Etch through stone-faced trouble
Flow in conquest unbridled
Against the tidal trials
Destine to fall from craggy cliff
And conspire in waiting waterway
Where Charon waits to ferry.


"Why should I live? Why should I do anything? Is there in life any purpose which the inevitable death that awaits me does not undo and destroy?" -Tols

I just read your critique and the only thing I can think of that I didn't like about this, is that there was not enough of it.But then, I wouldn't dream of changing the ending by adding words either. The impact of Charon being the end was a smooth touch.

I like this, and I love dark poetry. I hope to see more like this from you!
