as in an opiate dream
fish out of water
climbs a rope ladder
into a seaweed lifeboat ...

     waves of sea grass
     bend in the presence
     of ill winds that are blowing
     a terrible darkness over the ocean

     close the storm shutters
     light hurricane lamps
     something evil is brewing
     leviathon is stirring

     both serpent and dragon
     slimy and scaly
     the mythical creature
     will rise out of the brine

     with red eyes inflamed
     and a frightening wrath
     strangle with tentacles
     heart flesh and bone

or so it seems
in circumstances of the moment
when billowing clouds
obscure my horizons

"with red eyes inflamed
and a frightening wrath"

I enjoyed this I can't wait for your next one.

So no more hiding all your pain, you deserve a new start. That's why i'm closing myself away, this is a message from your heart.
