Premium Member Leviathan
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 and cows breach the feeding pod, and dive in fabled...

Demon from the abyss, clothed in angelic white
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 and astral signs Concealed by the fathomless waves from every...

One lone man against Leviathan With its signals and its code It’s forms and formulation What’s a soul to do, Bend and yield as a willow Or stand proud and tall as an oak? You tell me, Or better yet ask Jonah In the belly of the beast. (8/22/24) ...

Leviathan
Some nightmares find you while you are sleeping Others apprehend you in the midday sun Some nightmares seize you and pull you into the darkness from where you stand in the midday sun Those are the type of nightmares that freeze my blood Those are the types of midday dreams where everything is nothing and nothing is as it seems Those are the type of nightmare that drives me...

Reverse Polarity Direct, straight, and true, to the sun the crow doth fly to you. High above the event horizon, on Icarus currents, his outstretched wings fly on, and in the heat of his passion, only to suffer some fowl doom. Alternating her course, the leviathan swam, not nearly as ancient as the great “I Am.” Deep beneath the bluest of blue oceans, she...

Who Dares Rouse Leviathan
Who dares rouse Leviathan, the Giant beneath the heaving deeps? This world now teams with Ahabs whose heaping anger never sleeps. Each one wants to hook its jaw and each to press its tongue; to try its rich and fragrant oil and see it bound and beached and dumb.

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 were impact-bound; instead, leviathan commenced to sound. ...

Leviathan
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 into the pitch black We feel it's waning heart beating us To...

The Oppresor
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 the scorching sunny day they worked for you, yet no...

Leviathan Lucidity
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 deep And the dreaded armor-scaled whale arose, with destroying breaker waves An unholy...
