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 hard on 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
