Darkness Waves

He is watching her
She knows that he is
She can feel his eyes
Everywhere she goes
That Hollow sockets 
The depth of the ocean’s darkness hidden behind

Whatever he has in mind
Tormenting her all the time
When darkness waves creep up
And the glimmer of last light fades fast
Embracing those eerie arms reaching
Dark waves engulfing
Drowning beneath life's surface
Losing sight of the moon
Lies beneath 

An unmarked grave
Lifeless bodies 
Staring soulless eyes embedded in blue-white face
Body numbed by the stingray’s touch
Death finally came
Water filling lungs
Her anchored 
Escaping death several times
Miracle of the One above
The now lifeless body 
Eyes that no longer see
