The Water King

In pure daylight

I cause you

To have

The most

Immersive

Dreams

You’re hypnotised

By the ocean’s

Surface sheen

I represent water

When it broke

The baby, flowed

Down the fallopian

I heard it scream

Taking

The initial

Breath of life

I saw it

Learn to walk

Its little steps

And strides

And with a

Helpless cry

It gives a message

 “Mother, I know

I dribble

But just present

Your nipple,

Your breast for

My mouth, to nibble

And get a sip

Of minerals

Or else I’ll die

If I suffer

Consistent

Negligence”

“I need your milk

For quick digestion

With it I can

Develop

And survive

In a crib

Attended

By visiting

Relatives

Greeting me

With

A “hello”

Or a “hi!”

“They bring

A present

A new bib

A dress

Purchased from

The children’s

Section

I don’t want

To be picked

Leave me alone!

I feel sick, and restless”

It is I

Poseidon

King of the seas

And the

Influencer

Of what’s pictured

In visions

And dreams

Listen, I’ll speak

No-one knows

The ocean

What’s hidden

Beneath

The secrets

In them I keep

The wisdom

That’s deep inside

You only know

The surface

That glistens

When hit by

Lightbeams

I’ll fill you

With alcohol

Spirits

To help you

Release

Inhibitions

I know all ]

The things

Your mind’s seen

Whether a word

A symbol

Image or theme

My energy is

Feminine

But it’d be

A mistake

To think that

I’m weak

Like a sweet

Kitten or child

In an instant

I can turn into

A vicious, wild beast

Some are in

Prison, while free

And speaking of

Imprisonment

You aren’t

Leaving my

Domain

Unless you can

Sing to my key
