One day
High above the sea
My tower moving in the wind of the storm
I looked around
/The slim grey flanks rose from the crashing waves/
around the tower
lights blinked in the rain
grey clouds high above
shedding tears
/bellowing their fury/
pale mists hung above the waters
/clinging souls of the sea/
pale eyes beneath
and high above
the blind eye albatross observes all.

The mists draw into port
The aged mariner says his prayers
dark gods roam the briney shallows
small folk cry in the night
haunted by creatures
all fangs and spite
John the harbour master
is lost this night
by candle-light his form makes a sad sight
crimson awash against the cobbles
seagul cries and surf born lies
monsters on the tide.

Note; This one's a bit crap I just made it as a kinda fillery type bit and WILL WORK ON IT IN FUTURE.
The rain is falling harder now
straight
like lances they would say
Grey sea, sky and mist are churned and pummeled ferociously
How they stand it I dont know
my tower stands
impervious
water running off/
mist condensing off/
/its smooth bleached skin
screaming in agony
the sea cries for more
not since ancient times
has the mother cried so much
and the child must provide
its siblings for her
to devour.
The eyes
blind
survey placidly the horizon
as the Blind Eye Albatross
filled with hope
attempts to sate his eternal mother.

Falling, Falling
Feathers on the wind
Swirl through mists high apart in the darkness
Eyes flash beneath the surface
silken blackness absorbing
the light of my lamp
far against me
scales rustle in an angry crescendo
close away wings flutter wildly
the heron escapes the carp
thrashing agaisnt the light
away in the dark
a harp is unstrung
the notes tumbling out of shape
incoherent reversal across the pool
wake up John
theres still the salmon to be harvested here.
