Below Poseidon's mighty waves,
Where seraphs dwelt for a century,
The burgeoning stench of the sick and slain
thrive in beautiful infamy.
Before the divine diference of night and day-
When earth was but a reverie
and the exulting mystic moon
bore the tumult of the sea-


A whisper roamed the sacred sphere,
resounding over her lush vegetation
and grasped the lost and forgotten leer
embroidered with burgeoning hatred.
Then,when still and silence befell the earth,
A roaring siren rang out with glee,
for it was the beginning of creation
when the moon cursed the silent sea.

The author's comments:
this the final of a two series poem(s). They both question the true authority of a gods power putting in perspective that there will always be a higher power for any higher power(god) that exists.

Aye funny thing I just finish reading the Odyssey and I seen that the name Poseiden had popped out at me. This is really deep and to me I think that everyone has a dark and mysterious side which is poetry through your own purpose. This is an excellent piece but I think that you went a lil bit too deep but overall I liked it.

I'm with Grace. These poems are deep. Dude, you're like Edgar Allen Freakin Poe. I see his elements in your poetry. This is awesome. Imagery, metaphors, and personification. No way you're a teen. Or are you...? -_-
