Oceans

The confines of my flesh erode my soul My ribcage wages war on my heart I wish to tear myself apart from this prison of rotting bones As only then should I taste this decaying world's sweetness I long for the life of the oceans All-seeing, all-consuming forces of nature Whose fury submerges cities in its ferocity Their smooth bodies undestroyable divine to our wretched forms The fury in my body was molded for a divine force My sorrows made only for the inanimate to bear Loose waves that belong to the oceans Apathy of the waters is for I took their care
