Darkest

It is darkest when water slaps the rock

More than a suggestion less than a lie

Approaching me instantly back to die

Tossed underneath another frothy smock

Fantastic waves curling over the sand

Crashing down over the feet of a fool

Again and again relentless ridicule.

The wave forms a peak unable to stand

And I am devoured under its weight

Redeemed by nothing, lies and fallacy.

I met denial when hope welcomed me

Too early on it when it was much too late.
