Sea Monster

I stood mesmerized by the calmness of the sea.
It's belly pregnated with serenity, beacons at me.
Relentlessly I glided to its inviting mouth.
Over rocks I stumbled in my haste to get to it.
My body languidly caused ripples of its water's to divide into circles.
My feet unabashedly caressing the snug sand underneath its dark interior.
The heat of it's waters warmed my being like molten lava so effortlessly that my fear of It was forgotten.
Unbeknownst to me, the dangers that layed ahead.
Further I waded in, letting It reach to my neck.
I spread my arms open to plunge in further more.
Suddenly, I felt the ground shook.
The sand shifting beneath my unblanced feet.
With a gasp I fell in headfirst into It's gloomy waters.
Swallowing It's saltiness, I sputtered hands flailing helplessly as I attempted to swim to keep me afloat.
Eyes burning from It's salt, I blinked rapidly trying to see.
I lifted my head above the merciless waves and my eyes widen in disbelief.
A monstrous wave came at me with claws of death!
I silently cried for help in my psyche.
Closing my eyes I ducked in It's inky waters.
My lungs burned with the lack of oxygen.
My muscles contracting and tensing as I fought not to be dragged in It's murky depths.
The ferocious waves bit at my being causing my skin to tingle with hot searing pain.
Not being able to hold my breath any longer
I burst through the waves gasping for the salty air.
And when I opened my eyes the sight before me left my brain blank and my mouth gaping like a fish without water.
Waves from every direction whirled around me.
They rosed high up to the sky and I blinked in despair when at last they crashed down on me, paralyzing any thoughts of escape.
My body bounced and thrashed wildly in It's waters.
My arms and legs not responding to my blank brain moved about helplessly as I finally drank It's salty waters.
As the thought of me drowning finally penetrated through my psyche,
I closed My eyes and let the darkness of IT finally enveloped me!
