Darkness Fishing

With darkness
Fishing
 No appreciation
When beaten
 Lies with submission
Stagnant streams
 Overflow under dreams
Fish in spawning
 Under currents churning
Filet knife honed
 Scales in pilings
A temperate rising
Seasoned with bubbling
Deep fried soul
 A fork  that is piercing
Please pass on the sauce
 You in yearning
Display me on a wall
 Like a trophy stuffed
Dangling with lures 
You felt so sure
 A coward with a tale

Give constructive criticism. I want and desire it. If I'm failing in some way please help me make it better. That's how one grows in artistry and creativity. Another's insight. I was having a nonsensical late nite with nonsensical long islands. After a nonsensical break up. What nonsense.
