the leviathan rising; the maelstrom swelling

the leviathan to the surface rising,
unquiet the maelstrom raging, like a sea swelling,
tempested from within stirring,
the soul a fire so cold burning,

plotting, scheming its steely eyes yearning,
pleasant, pleasurable its scent like myrrh pleasing,
bitter, bitter, to the taste revealing,
this behemoth, abomination, no longer sleeping,

contained, held within, for release beckoning,
usurper, deceiver, fools readily trusting,
medium, mechanism, through guile its goals achieving,
unresting, unhasting, for its time to come waiting,

in the throes of madness, its brilliance stunning,
to the surface, to the surface, human will withering,
in resplendence, ascending, sentient, this evil being,
the maelstrom swelling, good with evil transposing.

anticipating, agitating, uncaring,
a pain that surpass human understanding
the leviathan rising, rising, rising,
the maelstrom swelling, swelling, unending,
