Head

Ocean in the head

A tamed devil under chains

Songs written by the gulls

Notes sung by the waves.

A storm beneath the ripples

A quake under the ocean floor.

Vacancy of the hollow, taken by a breath of salt

Rapids of disturbance, tied down to own grave

Noises against the liquid, a distant blur.

Needles of frost cutting through

Waves slowed, sting of salt lingered.

In a green glow all reverses.

Thawed liquid crystallizes into mirror beads.

The waves' song hung in the void,

The cry of a ghost.

Ice blocks surfaced, the docile waves a clump of dead soldiers.

Needles set about the weaving,

Threads and threads of rime

Blocks and blocks of bitter victory.

Ocean in the head

Vengeance on the needles harbour not

Chained devil release not.

Blaze at the core of berg, hunt.

Songs of the waves, frame.

The dead soldiers, heal.

First drop of liquid, a badge of rebirth.

Till the entire army awakens, the tale stands honest-

Oceans can't die.
Let others and the author know if you liked it

Liked it alot?

Crows follow the voice of his. A haunted cry.
Vultures circle ahead. He smells of rotten flesh.
A lone soul resting on his throne of skulls....

Out in the open I can't be,
So up on a tree I hide sipping tea.
Humans, gadzooks! Foul and loud and vile!...
