My Leviathan

[Haunted_Broken_Wings]

Who are you?
This creature
this Leviathan that consumes my soul.
Withholding its presence
until the time is right
to reach out and strike!

Nightly routines lead me to slumber
watery and vague dreams played
with this presence of death
while you laugh
Torturous you are
Lovely...

As each day breaks I think
its over
but alas its only you
this snake
coiling while you watch
a sinister grin upon your face
licking the air as if you would
stick your tongue out
just to toy with me..

Yet it isn't I who ensnares you
But you who ensnares me
Captivating me with those deep eyes
entrancing me
So that I might do your bidding
behind glass walls
Hearing only what you want me to
Oh how devious

And the water rises
far above my head
and I begin to drown
In these murky waters,
your abode.
Filled with deceit and hate
Yet my trance prevents my knowing
Even as I suffocate.
My lungs, filling with the muck.
I am oblivious.

Then, A dark herald
Sweeps in
consuming my thoughts
breaking the trance
pulling me above to clear my lungs
fresh air pulls through my body
enriching my soul
nourishing me

Yet is this herald
really for me?
Or just out to destroy
this leviathan
who in his wake is
disastrous and yet, still charming

Oh the twisted
cruel ways
Enthralling my life
entangling my heart
but alas,
no tears have shed
sadness does not swarm me
Realization that I feel nothing,
no remorse and no relief.

My Leviathan
My creature of lies
succumbed to my will
leaving me to myself
as he drifts past his abode
absent from mind
Death upon his lids
As he declared his failure
and sleep befalls him.
