A Young Man and the Sea


A poe it that didn't know it,

sat in a bow it.

Soon realized his frail heart could not row it.

So heavy from sadness his tears filled the gulley.

No revery or gladness to steer clear of worry.

 

Thunder did begin to blunder.

Lightning soon began to bite...

His dwarf canoe refused to wander,

'yonder decks of wood still tied...

 

Looming over sky like doves,

that doth refuse confess their love.

Poseidon's gaping jaws did open.

Swallowed just like saturn's children...

Yeti Noone

poet, mystic. Wrote it but somehow... missed it. Dark prose is somewhat of an artform of mine. Each portrait is akin to a dark meditation on the human condition/consciousness or lack thereof.
