Drumbeats in the Deep

Howdy, howdy. Got another hot off the cheffin’ table. This one’s about a feeling I got while my girlfriend and I were reading Catch-22. I hope everybody enjoys. Without further ado…

Drumbeats in the Deep

Cerulean waves beat against the darkness

like drumbeats in the deep;

thump, thump, thump, thump

and emeralds shatter against the creep.

~

That dreaded demon’s ghost

lies slumbering below,

cascading out across the coast

and laying simple places low.

~

Crimson eyes

that pierce the veil,

like crimson lights

against the pale.

~

Ancient columns sound the call,

a coronach that trills,

and fills,

the silence of it all.

~

Beginning,

middle,

end,

is the man’s soul to bend?
