an ocean so beautiful, so vast
a refuge from all troubles besetting the placidity that of us,
a sight for sore eyes, worried minds
an ocean so beautiful, so vast

and so deadly.

so deadly that one drowns without realizing
drowning towards his unfaltering misery which have kept him from believing—
believing in the magic of this ocean of passion

this ocean of passion he so trusted and took refuge in
so sure and blinded it would keep his miseries from getting in
that he had forgotten a terror veiled by bliss and wonder—
a terror so profound and would eventually wander
until it comes out a large tower, alive, ready to devour
that motionless body of his that has already succumbed to this terror

its darkness fills him to the brim, consumes his heart, his very soul
and once this terror's hunger is sated— temporarily—it leaves him unblinking, devoid of everything but grief and a vague sensation of emptiness that grows stronger day by day

he tries and tries but in lethargy he can't
in stagnation only he dwells and cries.
he tries and tries until he's forgotten to try with his tears running dry.

he cannot hope, nor can he mope
how can he do anything? how can he do anything when he cannot?
for one cannot do anything when there is nothing

nothing...

that ocean of passion...

...isn't so beautiful anymore.
