Miracle at sea

It is now called "The ninth wave" When the raging sea opens its gaping mouth Ready to swallow a frail mothership; When the devilish wind traps and tears the sails up To useless shreds with its merciless whip; When the ship carcass roars and snarls like a lion, Fatally wounded, but not giving in; When the helm, like a broken roulette, reels around, Setting the stage for the last deadly spin; When voracious abyss awaits in shrill silence Its wretched, weary and petrified prey, Hungry for his fresh blood, feasting on his despair, May he find peace before fading away.

I was raised in Russia and moved to the States at the tender age of 16. Been writing poetry since I was 11 years old. It is my favorite way of spending time:)
