Betrayer of the Sea

Picture
Waves shatter against the shore like an endless volley of a relentless enemy
A mind lost to surf and sand; a heart lost to the sea of tears
Kissed by the sun in void of a kinder mistress; scarred by the taste of salt on the lips
The grand war fought among the surge of a boundless tide
No victor will be named here; the only reward a decayed treasure of isolation
 
This hapless odyssey was never meant to lead into a prison of anguish
Sails rose on a desire of knowledge and love; the wind betrays both
What carries to new purpose brings closer the end; a gale of spurned emotion
The goddess of new life strikes down those before her throne
An agonizing demise brought from afar; the hand of treachery once loved
 
You were meant to be a protector; the bittersweet savior of the oceans
But these turbulent waters convey your true impulsion
We worshiped you like a divine empress; adored your very being
And still we become abandoned in this forsaken place; an island of sorrow without you
 
A barren coast surrounded by a constant reminder of your cruelty
Over the bounding main of lies you linger; in our hearts and through our fleeting breath
The gust a reminder of the passion once held; the tide a truth of corruption
Betrayed by the seducer of the seafarers and accursed
