Sea

Came we to her as fools
Lured by her mystical blues

Awoke we her wrath
How will she leave us in this aftermath?

She, with watery wings leapt
Saturate us in immortal depth

Crush us with foamy blows
Cast us into darkness below

Aqueous temper this frantic serge
Flesh and fluid struggle, quarrel, merge

She lashes with rage
Drown us in timeless age

Seize from us the day
Substitute a liquid grave

"Crush us with foamy blows
Cast us into darkness below

Aqueous temper this frantic serge
Flesh and fluid struggle, quarrel, merge "

symbolic and intense writing. I just love the beautiful comparisons made here.
'watery wings'
'liquid grave'...
beautifully penned!
love the use of vocab...

i enjoyed this. i like anything with nature, especially the sea because it is so mysterious and powerful and so much musing takes place in its presence. it has fascinated man since the beginning of time. you did such a great job personifying it and relating it to life struggles. powerful beginning & ending.

This poem is awesome. The sea is so dangerous, yet so beautiful. You have captured it all in few words. Powerful and intense. Really drags you in, from beginning to end. Thanks for sharing!

Yes the sea so calm. Only asking for gentle respect.
Or enter at your own risk in bold. Still a great magnet for the unwary. But we're all drawn to it.

Thank you so much! What a great draw it has on us😉

' Aqueous temper this frantic serge
Flesh and fluid struggle, quarrel, merge .. '

Amazing, raw and powerful phrasing.. must like the entire poem. Seems you might be someone who stands or sits, watching the sea in its might dance, day in or day out. Tis never the same, never.. and that makes it utterly unique.

Great writing, different from the norm.
