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
