The Leviathan in the deep
The Leviathan in the Deep
Soft and barely moving stood the surface of my ocean
Boats strewn about smashed into kindling
I searched the horizon for a reason
I looked for any sign of this source of destruction
There, just under the water, moved the Leviathan in the Deep
From the far reaches of thought it had ascended
I could not see it, no, it was ghost beneath the waves
Moving slowly and then quickly leaving carnage in its wake
I watched it move up from the depths
And then towards the vessels of my Love
I saw where it came from and then where it went
Leaving nothing untouched in its path
Never once did I see its face
No, never once did it come above the waves
So there in the Deep dove I down to meet this
I sought out the Leviathan my oldest and truest friend
Up through the memories of the Ocean
Through the waters and currents of time
From childhood memories through out my pain
There in the midst of living Hell... the Leviathan came
Destroyer of all I held dear
Abandoner, Disloyalty, Lies, self servitude was its name
There in the deep beneath the waves with my sword in hand
I came face to face with the beast
Oh Mother, My Father, My sister, My brother
Friends from memories of Old
A child, I was, trapped in the rains clinging to a pole
And every sore thing, terrible pain, and awful lie... brought to bare
Here in the Deep, Leviathan
It is only you and me
Here in the Dark alone in this my home, my Ocean
I will slit your throat, douse your light, and yes my old friend...
I will soon... be... free

This needs work. I'll keep polishing it. The poem is about the abandonment issues I've had most of my life that have destroyed so many of my relationships, and wrecked my life.
I'm finally dealing with them, and it's like fighting a beast beneath the waves of time built up in my life. I can not see it face to face most of the time, but when I dive into the waves, sort through my memories... I find it there and usually I can... and I do... end my own suffering.
Thank God I have found a way to deal with the decades of pain in my life. I really didn't think there was any hope for me.
I am so glad I was wrong.
