Slowly
she creeps in
like ebony nights
waves pounding
she swallows
gorging herself
like monsters
in childhood dreams
teeth nashing
she feeds
snatching life
to swim
from her terror
pointless
Slowly
she retreats
like the dawn
peeking through
she slumbers
laving remnants
collected
treasured
worshipped
reminders
of her power
her conquering force
mans mortal existance
