The Ship's Return

I've waited till I was ghastly pale for Her
to at last sail her frail yet vast masts
back to the port of my youth,
past the borders of sooth
Into the harshness
of martyrs' last breaths
as they gasp & death grasps them
Yet as she casts her anchor & lies there
& I cast my anger & pride bare
Into the ocean, with the sins that choke me
Like a cloak over a dim lantern
I dive off the coast & swim with them
till I overdose from the potent notions
Yet within mantras from my righteous boasts
& penned banters stem Light's answers
Though the Night cloaks them
& my might's frantic to bystanders
I lie stranded, indecisive yet hopeful
as I sight my soul lested from my shell
frolicking with these majestic & hellish
Creatures in the Sea, creeping into my being
Seeping into my dreams till they've breached
Every piece of me, this scenery leaves me weakened
Breathing deeply as I'm reading your thesis
Your magnum opus, I'm dragged into hopelessness
Only to fathom this potent gift
The duality of Nature,
The Eightfold paces of my Path
Out of reality into the vapours of the Aethers
Till I'm traceless & speechless
Yet I speak & taste of the meekness
Of your greatness, revel within it
encased like a gem fractally refracting
the vessel's shimmering masked facets
My past tenses are erased as I hem
my destiny with mathematics
In this cast sentence, I am
But laughter's apprentice
Etching these crafted tablets
Desolate like Black Magic
View them with vast lenses
when you peer, I pray thee,
don't construe them as crazy, or mere ghastly mentions
Like tear gassed peers massacred or lynchings
The past is but an inkling
The future is the mast of the ship
Yet I'm but a raft adrift
After the ship's sinking
From the mast tipping & crashing
Into the deck, so I sifted & grasped what was left
& crafted my raft from it
Battled with Death & mastered it
With hazardous tactics blasphemous
I dashed & dipped into madness
Lashed & whipped
by crashing waves of sadness
Yet all this was but a phantom passing
My spirit glances back & re-enters as a ball of mist
I watch the tall ship, weary, then I dance & laugh...

We all exist as a random passage of pages in the passing of the Ages
