Ultimate Nightmare

In total darkness My helpless naked body Like a mere rag doll Is tossed precariously Into the cursing unforgiving freezing sea My body in shock I am petrified filled with fear And find it hard to breath. My limbs tossed and thrown about At the mercy of the towering cursing waves That has taken so many unmercifully To the murky depths And a watery grave. The freezing cold cuts and bites my tender skin And as I swirl around against my will My head is in a spin I'm getting tired and more tired As the waves crash and get increasingly higher Drifting in and out of consciousness Never knowing what will happen next And when I will expire. I just want to sleep I hope I will soon die I give out primal screams But there's no one to hear my cries. The sheer noise of the thunderous waves Deafens me and hurts my ears I become delusional Calling out for mother And cry so many tears. I sense the sharks are gathering To frenziedly rip and tear my flesh And drag me down into those dark, freezing murky depths. My bones to lay on the ocean bed And soon to be covered by silt and sand Soon to be forgotten As though I'd never existed as a person Or a man At peace at last. Peter Dome copyright.2014.
