One night out upon the raging sea,
In a storm so dark the stars did flee,
When in a moment a massive wave,
Sent a ship to a cold, watery grave.
From another deck, a wreath was thrown,
For the brave crew that joined Davey Jones,
Red roses that marked an unknown spot,
A simple act done with profound thought.
Those of the sea spurn long morbid woe,
But give honor to those lost below,
In a sea that offers much can take,
Friend and foe that demands great respect.
Upon the shore, gentle waves roll in,
Bringing a message from those brave men,
True mates resting in that murky den,
“Given the chance, we’d all sail again.”
Not to sail again is thought amiss,
Fear of the oceanic abyss,
And its haunting terror cannot keep,
Men from sailing o’er the briny deep.
What to do or not to do
Should I do this
I guess I won’t
Drowning in a oceanic abyss
Where should I go
They say I have time
But I don’t know
All to do is whine
Crying won’t solve this
This problem I have
They want to know what it is
Such a burden to have
Guess that’s anxiety, My problem
That’s why I feel all the way at the bottom
Fire
Flames
Earth shakes as volcano roars
Brimstone shoots upward hundreds of miles
Lava pours down the mountain slope
Unimaginable is its scope
As lava meets up with oceanic abyss
The new land forms as the vapor will hiss
From the center of the crater
To the surface rises uncanny stone
It appears to have bits of lava
Like a scar across façade of that stone
But this is no stone at all
It is an egg
And what appears to be lava
It is a life form that formed inside that egg
The shell breaks
And phoenix rises from what is left
He is heavenly spawn
The spirit given form
Like a kaleidoscope of many colors
He ornaments the stars
As he flies to the heavens
Past planets like Jupiter and Mars
In his talons
Fundamental fabric of existence is
Key to soul of Omni-verse
Physics Holy Grail divine bliss
Enchanting sailing ship cuts through oceanic abyss
Billows shut to the sky as the sea serpent will hiss
Crushing wave comes upon the deck as the sails wind will kiss
But as the storm passes the vast expanse of the sea turns to dreamy bliss
On the land awe inspiring volcano explodes towards the sky
The debris all around will fly
But despite the carnage the island will not die
It will grow stronger as the fiery lava upon lustrous surface of the sea now will lie
Echoes of very Gods can be heard when ocean land will meet
The soul is folded like a metal sheet
When the soft sea waves volcanic heat
Will greet
Those echoes heart of fire left behind
Create visions in subconscious mind
The unbound visage of universe laws is now redefined
The vision gives direction to will previously flying blind
The last none specified force beyond continuum is uncovered whole
In it beyond abstract vision of immortality has its role
When those concepts to spirit will apply it will grow beyond control
And in that incredible power is spawned it will reveal true essence of the soul
Great wondering albatross flies above oceanic abyss
Many interesting creatures live where ocean waves land will kiss
On the endless horizon blue bliss
Of primordial ballad sea seems to reminisce
Star rain appears on that blue horizon
Souls from the essence as billows from the sea have risen
Somewhere in space like on the ocean there is beacon
Giving hope and purpose to ship’s and starship’s captain
The cave of echoes’ second wave spins above
The firsts’ in discontinuous number maximum love
This is glory first element of
Mathematical surrealism shines like essence of that love
Four basic elements and spirit make that beauty
But different four elements are in main vanes’ immortality
They are main vane’s time and destiny
They are its magic and philosophy
The place of fifth is essence with all its majesty
That to greatest love is the key
And when with this divine in union soul will be
Mesmerizing is its everlasting beauty
This is the wind beneath soul’s albatross wings
This is the power of which angel sings
This is bliss of all things
This is the essence of king of kings
Mako shark swims sixty miles an hour
That takes a lot of power
Sometimes great white small pebbles will devour
As for prey the oceanic abyss it will scour
Red gums with blistering teeth you will see
On the shark that is lord of the sea
His eyes are lustrous black and deeply eerie
Deeper then abyss of the very sea
Once the stones lord of ocean regurgitated
With stone imbued with power lord accumulated
Steller’s Sea eagle picked it up for this stone bird was avid
And for a while lord of the sky it guarded
Then he dropped it to jaguar’s den
Jaguar with bite force of more than ten
That bite right through caiman’s head can
Lord of jungle played with the stone in his pen
Then
The stone was found by a man
Who has thrown it to a river again
Thinking it could not be worth a live hen
The stone was lustrous grey blue
Its width was Inches two
Its length also just a few
And through what the pebble was no one had a clue
But in that lied stones’ majesty
Inconspicuous not much to see
Yet it could truly
Levitate man beyond destiny
Engulfed by gigantic sea waves,
Experienced oceanic abyss,
Blessed !!

Awarded 8th place win
From the force beyond continuum it lights up the sky
The birds representing type of angels towards it will fly
Ships of under fabric from abyss it will pass by
On the lone island of thought it will lie
The lighthouse is the beacon of hope
And every soul is in its scope
It is from its seed that the very expanse will elope
To form perfect form whose vision is anything but myope
The spirit has no reference point to anything at all
And it is that very nature that will bring majesty of expanse to glory of the soul
That is something to cherish and to extol
Like a lighthouse in the center of oceanic abyss around which cascading waves will roll
A great diamond sits on a pedestal beside the grotto wall
In its visage one can see reflection of one’s soul
Maybe it’s a ship sailing oceanic abyss or beautiful tree growing tall
Whatever magnificent image it is something to extol
The fiery lava inferno will freeze
As the volcano reaches the grotto’s cold breeze
Like the abyss of imagination is this breeze
But its depth is something that only the eye of the soul sees
The mastery of unknown variables like an enchanting spring flower will blossom
The center of that flower resembling rose, hyacinth or maybe lily it will look awesome
It will lead you to hidden kingdom
Where trans necrotic force changes planes of existence in divine quantum
Deep within me...
I as one feel so lovely...
I barely...
have a torn part within me that was abusively...
hurt because of you...
I love you...
Cause we as one do good things...
Good collaboration...
you are my only...
explanation...
when my body come closer to yours it have these, these, uhhhh...
good vibrations...
As I lay my head down to sleep...
I...
me...
just you so close to me...
Baby...
I love the way you kiss...
because it’s this, this, this ummm...
form of bliss...
is not a oceanic abyss...
it’s mysterious it’s deep...
cause I lose my train of thoughts to pause and reminisce...
how your lips on my lips...
your hands was once on my shoulders but they found their way to rock my hips...
This love I have for you is so serious...
Now this might sound a little cliche...
you’re the one that brightens my day...
within my deep concentration...
When in I don’t feel like doing nothing you’re my inspiration...
that gets me to my destination...
When I have a bad day you provide me with more knowledge and extra information...
Thanks boo for being patient...
Now you can stop thinking...
it’s true love ...
Now let your mind take a vacation...
