The Last Voyage

The Last Voyage

The seas were aghast
Clamoring waters swept by the brutal torrent
The skies were obscurely dark
As the storm pushed away everything in its path
Strong currents consumed ships and boats
Vessel by vessel
Engulfed by measureless depth
Yet one ship struggled feebly to stay afloat
Navigating hastily against the violent tide
Only one ship made it ashore.
The only ship buoyant, amidst nature’s upheaval

One ship came back to tell tales of terror
Yet it was shunned as an enchanted survivor
Narrowly escaping demise through the supernatural
Indelibly present, like that of a king’s talisman
Surviving crusades and battles of time
A deserter sent by gods
Who spoke of preposterous legends
And mythical tales of the unimaginable
Yet truth be told that in its glorious escape
Destiny was no accident
For fate dictates a predestined mission
An inevitable task it must partake

Abre Tus Ojos

Apt. 2



 Abre Tus Ojos



There she stood blindfolded
Unable to withstand defiant winds
As she grew cold and fatigued
Her sword falls to the ground
Aged scale tilts
Impartial eyes uncovered
Justice served on a silver platter
