Terrestrial Thalassocracies

Fidgeting with these anxious thoughts,
purging emotional incisions in this adventurous soul,
extracting lessons from circumstances shocked
and shaken like rattling, thunderous rolls:
storms that swirled without surrender
until surrender found its home
within my heart of burning embers,
awakened to an eternal throne.

A fountain flowing from ethereal realms
in torrents of terrestrial thalassocracies,
like a figurehead of Aphrodite at the helm
to steer the ship toward Love’s theocracy:
the waves of pleasure that ebb and flow
and surge against the sea’s atrocity,
flashing flickers that faintly glow
like moonlight shining apocryphally.
