Mysterious, bitter libation
Sends out drunk sailors
Into the night's jagged mouth;
The darkness grins with malice.
Aborted and doused with fluid,
A stranger's heart combusts
Amidst the cacophonous screams
Of tormented souls in agony.
The flames and wind-brought howls
Call to the sailors like sirens
From the night-shrouded shore.
Into the darkness they vanish.
Inebriated fools sail onward
Into the dark, cavernous shore,
Unaware that death awaits them—
Unaware the've entered their own tomb.

You paint an intriguing scene. Lung choking murmurs and a monstrous nautical clime that is only abated when they dwell into their watery and rigid tomb. To what purpose did they venture? Foolhardiness, arrogance, or a deliberate suicide by the sailors for sights best left unseen, only able to dull the despair through numbing their senses? Whatever their intentions were, you sent me wondering. Thank you for sharing. It was a most enjoyable little read!
Thank you for reading and for your thoughtful feedback! Glad you found wondering! Rock on!
