Premium Member Over Calm Seas
Image #5 Over calm seas the sun does rise Far away and seeming so small Truth is where our perspective lies Over calm seas One of the largest of them all; Sea creature with bandits disguise The sun balancing like a ball So deceived by fallible eyes This whale makes the sun rise and fall Painting red, orange, yellow skies Over calm seas ...

Premium Member Ode to an Orca
Ode to an Orca You are the apex predator of the ocean. No other sea creature can match you. Even the mighty great white fears you. Its liver one of your prime delicacies. You are an intelligent animal who can adapt to any environment. A voracious eater, you are not selective. Fish, seals, whales, sharks, penguins, dolphins are prime targets. Even boats are not immune to your voracious attacks. You hunt in...

Premium Member Belly of the Whale
It isn’t what I wanted and yet, here I am Reluctant but obedient to the greater plan Did my share of running, tried so hard to break free But there is no escape… it’s all in the prophecy.

Premium Member Down the Whale-Road's Stream
Tides Billow The boats quake Her sailors scream Davy Jones' Locker Opened its grisly maws Who can hope for salvation? When the devils of the whale-road Cast down wretched tendrils of demise, Damning poor souls to their watery grave 'Lord!' They cry, 'Have mercy!' 'Deliver us' 'From this thunderstorm!' As mighty sails tumble And the cargo lose their worth 'Til the howling finally ceased The harpy's screech now a siren's hymn Drawing the vessels...

First Encounter
Fierce winds blow across the Atlantic tide, Colder she gets the rougher she'll ride, In matt'r minutes a chill to the bone, Few dare sail her northern zone, Far north the whaling be done, Colder in account for the miss'n sun, The currents below just twist and swell, Above her frozen by a northenly gale, Sails drawn, busting through crests, A captain in hope...

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...
