Raping of the Ocean
Your insanity won't hurt me, you used to claim.
My destiny once teemed with life.
Of what was possible, with orcas and white flying beasts.
The fantasy of your warmth, I used to dream.
Your relaxed grip over my temples.
The headaches of one hundred shallow nets and a billion starving poor.
Your factory of lies, you still believe.
The angel struggles for balance on your shoulder
As my intoxicated liver I brought upon myself by feeding you.
Another voice, a thousand goldfish crackers fed to seagulls.
Stamped upon the oily birds a tag, "fear"
I say fly from the water, sea birds.
Only to be hunted again.
I wish I could say I'm sorry.
But I never apologize.
I never bend.
Understanding within your grasp.
It's your decision to open your eyes.
Oh hell, these words aren't going anywhere.
They seldom do.

aye, well I was waiting to use it on one o' your blogs. I guess, it now appears, perhaps too soon. Premature ejpegulation? Still the sentiment fits here as well. You do have a real talent for the language.
