I have no suggestions I loved this one,

only thing is Mussel the right word you want to use? or muscle?

You still got it and like a fine wine you only get better

Language, pacing and pattern are all very good.

Down the time tunnels
I often walk feeling the chains.
In the dead of a winter's night
when the cold wind moans my name...

In this wicked reality
I walk the dank streets alone
crunching leaves beneath my feet
reminding me of drying bone.

Those two stanzas are fire.

Damn. This was one outstanding write my friend. I loved how the tension increased in the poem as you head towards that final meeting place. I also loved how the weather around you reflected the storm brewing inside you.

However, I do have just one small suggestion. And I hope you will not consider it too forward of me to offer advice so soon after joining.

But the suggestion I offer is just two letters long...lol.

At the very end of the last verse-

-But on I walk to embrace my fate
the night cold and crisp around me,
A man of yesterdays morals of honor
to great my foretold destiny!

I would suggest just adding en to great, to make it greaten. And this is to give the verse some actionable goal and perhaps wind it up some expected heroic finale.

Otherwise, everything else is spot-on. I really loved it.

Thanks for sharing.
