Ocean bloom

Aqua blooming ripples of ocean, wisping hair 
A strange figure's silhouette glides seamless; 
Its darkness has no devotion for a breath of air 
—Piteous sigh—
Earthbound quakes, earthen crusts crack 
Causing tsunamis in their wake, destroying paths 
Concrete crumbles and in its place, oceanic wrath

There's nothing you can do to detain me 
Even earth's vast craters cannot contain me 
Open your mouth wide, it keeps me alive 
These unflagging waves; your fiery grave 
...And mine...

An immense nimbus forms in my presence 
Meek in its devout nature, always aloft in dread 
Livid lightning fulminates atop the endless dead 
Bringing vibrancies to their halted, rotting flesh 
Death inside me culminates as visceral threads

The ocean's rage is a fleeting endeavor 
Ones still standing—new expressionless fervor
Tears always at the brink, waiting to collapse 
Never to be realized, a new stoic fate elapsed 
Devoted to the disdainful emptiness within!
