Best Leviathan Poems

Blue Leviathan 


Sounding the bathymetric deep
Lazuline green to waters risen
Of sonic dark sung Cetacea poetry
With ever knowing smiles
The gargantuan glides
Graceful on angel winged flukes

Slow easy speed
Of winded massive lungs
Hits the surfacing
Blown by fountainhead spouts
Breaching upon the waves

Two hundred tones of aquamarine
Poised and ready
Driven to fly...

And I saw a new heaven and a 
new earth: for the first heaven
and the first earth were passed
away; and there was no more sea
— Rev. 21:1


Satan is king of the sea
When he was cast out of heaven,
his star fell into the midst of the...

 On bowride below gentle titans peep
   ghost ships of the Pacific hunt and chase -
 great barnacled seafarers of the deep
   beneath the waves its clear blue waters grace.
 Where yon an old boneyard whaling station
   fluking bulls...

Arrogant autocratic Ahab
Sails set seaward
Heartless harpoon high
 
Wind wracked Waves
Revenge rage regret
Wretched white whale
 
Opaque Ocean oblivious
Deep dark dangerous
Titanic terrors traversing
 
Captain callous cold
Blood bought bonds
Obsidian oaths ordured  
 
Foreboding fears fester
Sacrosanct silent seas
Motionless midst moonset
 
Dim daylight dawned
Spray shot skyward
Lithe Longboats launched
 
Barnacled...

Roiling,Roiling,under me
my coils are silver as the sea.
You look ,you look ,
to capture me....
Leviathan !
I shall be free!

Pitiful and weak art thou
sailing in thy tiny scow
Blustering upon the bow,
seek to capture me

Tempest tossed and thrown about
brave and foolish full of doubt
still you try to seek...

‘Twas all thy impropriety,
For, I hung upon your neck,
Desecrating and withering away;
Wrenching you to your cessation.

In your breathe, all I can be,
Is a repugnant, vile leviathan.
Something so contemptible,
I’m merited to tribulation.

Contrite, I could never feel;
Not for you. Not ever.
Heedless, there’s too much to spare,
Within thy...

Leviathan-sized
The enormity of dreams
Keeps rising like yeast

Old soul of the sea
nurtured by the rolling depths

In the darkest hour of night it stirs
The thing in the shadows . . . it twitches
And its million eyes snap open . . . it’s awake
The creature, it hungers
And it moves for it must satisfy that hunger
Ten billion arms drag it across the slick...

pleiades

largely invincible
legendary monster
like dinosaurs extinct?
look at Job 41
lives within the water
lumbering evil beast
leviathan, a whale?

Miles below the surface rage she rests,
Her broken body caged by sand and rock,
Innards spilled across the ocean floor,
A hundred years since she escaped the dock.
Her crew no more than skeletons bleached white,
Scavenged by the mouths of unknown fish,
Scrubbed of flesh by carnivores and salt,
No...

A spray that glistened brightly in the sun
alerted us to what lay just below.
So close was he, we thought we’d surely run
headlong, colliding with a forceful blow.
And then, as if to say I’m not yet done,
his tail appeared: a curtain call for show.
We braced, assuming...

We live in the jaws of Leviathan 
locked in His tendrilled tongue, twisted and
gasping for air

a second to breath
as it's scaled spit scales across our head
the saliva corrodes our flesh with a painless

hiss that pours into our pores 
We fall into the creature's throat 
descending...

You frightening firmly plaza
The city well known threatening monster 
The known high cost selling plaza 
The cry of the poor masses,

You subject them to wear tartared clothes,
To eat, on rainy morning you will see them peasant,
Drenched in their robes, with hoe fitted on their shoulders,
On...

Mesmerising every soul, as a milk-white opal 
Opening its crooked jaw, showing the void within 
Birthed from fire and lust, in the bitter waters 
Yet, by its breath, it filters pale light from darkness 

Demon from the abyss, now clothed in angelic white
Imprinted with hieroglyphics...
