Fothcrah

Aow!

No warning, my sea had gone quiet
I was there but not prepared to brush with the terrible creature (Terrible creature)
I had found
She invoked my fear!

Now caught in the height of my voyage
I looked into the sea
And focused in my own reflection
What I saw—How I felt betrayed!

In the gloom, ruby eyes
Watched me from behind a mask
With a face just like mine
Waiting for my consent

Such a culling could mean my end
Trust and certainty, both guiding into the grave
—A foolish inquiry

I tested the weight of my anchors
I'd survive
So down I climbed
What wonder could hide in that spiral?
Should I fail, it would mean more shame!

Was it pride?
Was it greed?
That lead me to such poor accord?
In the jaws of the beast
Would I still feel the same?
All my life, I'd been robbed
Robbed of my dignity
But now I was the rogue who would return it back

Such a culling could mean my end
Trust and certainty, both guiding into the grave
—A foolish inquiry
She hanged
She lingered
Until I dropped my gaze
Her roar!
What thunder!
—To haunt my every dream

Such corruption leaked into my sea!
In my confusion, she broke through the fence
O' she was patient and sat on my line!
A turning of tide
Was she the prey or the hunter? (Oh no)

O' I had believed me the hand of a god!
How I must be insane!
But the best of us are
This madman is bringing home glory and prestige!
Behind the complex is a man with the soul of a king
Or a meal for the beast!
