I have found a magnificent sea monster in the Ocean of my mind

It is tall, red, blue and gold, beautiful to free searching eyes

With scales that flash from pattern to random distortion

His once tall sharp teeth have been dulled and broken

From gnawing on my heart

Below the surface he is dark and murky

with out describable shape and with indefinite size

I give him a name, that is always different, but to everyone the same


He has swallowed up the rotting, black banner ships

Bitter things that foul in his gut

These things cause him fester from the inside

And dilate to mountainous proportions

It is this terrible Poseidon that I fear

He calls out- "Oh, my swollen, aching belly. What are these now but tears?"

Who knew that such a beast could cry

Even more so, cry in such cognate rhythm with me

And so I begin my chase, I figure something so majestic

can be both at once liberated and on display

I follow him close behind through the gales and waves of the tempest

Oh how we both loath the days that I loose the wind

He also loves to play this game

**! He has led me to the edge of the infinite blue

The border of my mind

He leaps over, delivering a jubilant wail

That resonates within the falling water

He crashes ******* paper

Dying and bleeding he twists and writhes in panic

He tears through the pages, ripping holes, he leaves behind a carnage of red confetti

At the bottom of the page, his eyes close as he lies in final signature

Upon a rock on the edge, enthralled, I watch the monster's theater

Water gushing past me, waves spraying me with rapture

Then I cry out- "My friend, why did I drive you this far? You were one of

the great beauties of my Ocean. It has lost its vibrancy and energy

For you were in and of each other, composed as one"

As I breathe and find satisfaction, I steer my ship to where I began

Gazing over the liquid crystal dunes

Hoping for equal fluorescent color to match

So I notice a sea monster egg, ready to breach

Floating along the waves of the Ocean of my mind
