Into the Sea

by *Charisma*   Jan 26, 2007


Deep into this murky sea
Searching for the unknown
Myths of a creature lie
Within this place he roams.

Down we go, in this metal ship.
What protection does it provide?
If this danger does exist,
There's no where we can hide.

Slick skin with rough little bumps
A neck long and slender
Muscles strong and defined
To his power, we'd surrender.

Lower than the seaweed tops
Below murky waters sight
Rumors have it's where he lives
It's pitch black as night.

Turning on the lights we have
To cast a dimming glow
Fearing each look we give
To see if he will show.

Sure, "pictures" have been taken
And theories, given to the sky
But no evidence that's stable
For all we know, he can fly.

What was that? The bump,
I felt it. Didn't you too?
A person can go crazy here
With nothing else to do.

No! There it is again.
I pick myself off the floor.
Higher beams are flashed
Through our window door.

He does exist! He's there.
Staring at us through glass.
Yellow eye fixed upon
Intruders that dared pass.

He's thrashing us about.
Back and forth the ship goes.
Will we make it alive?
Nobody really knows.

Engines burning all they have.
Pulling us to ground's shore.
Opening up the hatchway
Jumping down to lands floor.

I turn around in the nick of time
To watch our proof drown in the sea.
Lochness monster oh so real,
He's just back to fantasy.
