two that hate......

two that challenge with eternal hate
a wild dare to swim a swath
before true horror begins
the bore of the maelstrom
full three miles cross
quiescent ever-changing
an irresistible fate
for these two that hate
water quiet as unto a dream
moon so full lulling the sense
as both dive to waters cold
thrusting from the banks
splitting the sea
in two arrow straight wakes
cleaving the ocean
battling the waves
neck and neck they streak
while horror awakens beneath
man and woman
finest of breed
blind to all else
but this degree of hate
crossing center
one and one
as the waters begin
to come alive
to begin its fell swirl
both with knowledge
now they can never make
with rage still fresh they battle on
pulling too slow from the center
as the maelstrom begins to take shape
three quarters cross
slowed to stop
furious do they still fight
more each other than waves
loss of ground as both are pulled back
to the inverted funnel
growling its wrath
side by side
drawn slowly round
eye to eye
voiceless in hate
faster the speed
louder its roar
held flesh to flesh
in this growling vortex
walls of water climbing high
pinned to the side
faster each turn
taken lower each time
wind so strong to burn the lungs
arm in arm turn after turn
gazes locked in burning hate
yet slowly they kiss
lips brief caress
for they are human
lonely in this sea of rage
helpless in all but this
surrendering nothing
as the sea slow death
brings them down
exhausted as the sea
deposits them
battered but whole
in the sand at center
with walls climbing round
madly churning walls that climb
far far into this night
knowing death to be
when these walls crash down
these two with hate still fresh
come slow together in loves sweet caress
gentle
with the raging might
of hell tearing up the night
soft they hold
as wind rips the sound
of each others sigh's
carefully they make love
with sure death all around
knowing in an instant
they will truly die
yet not giving up this last chance
for human love
together they....
