Oceanside

Before blood and brutes she knelt, Council curs

Carry sacred skulls as cryptic crowds

Shout frozen, supernovae eyes conquers

Reality subdued, Legion enshrouds

Before beaming bulbs, Godless altar stirs

Praising masses through glass, mad thunderclouds

Shaped by timeless Domes, dying daughter flee,

Waving waters, docile leaves call briefly.

Gory symphony awakes, Mythic Men

Damning cesspools of life, strife a dismal

Conflict, green void bites vicious, inviting glen

A second chance, days and nights abysmal,

Through rocky terrain she falls, Devil’s den

Summons eternally, cataclysmal

Floods steal light, angel branches saving two,

Dark tears unite, searing chest heals anew.

Nuclear star tides, glossy grass blades, steam

Covers shivering bones, drenched flesh, sweet sprouts

Cures dread, hot flashes, torn jeans, rushing streams,

Regime jets cruise ill beauty, fated scout

In search of a new home, tales, stories, dreams

Of Oceanside, no waves, a new walkabout,

She walks past scornful heights, valley of death

In her wake, Fall air traces reclaimed breath.
