Ode to the Sea god


One more night with thou I will sail,
O' Pirate of the land and water;
We will sail Through the dark like a whale,
Thou that regenerates like an Immortal.
Thy reign resonates through the deep,
Where thou made abode thy ancient keep,

O' Sailor of the far and near,
Thy sickles through the ripples it reap,
A sage whose foot unroofed the pier 
Thou that feast among the beasts,
Where can we found thee master of the sea?
Amidst war thy valour like inferno we've seen.

Captain of the wind, O' the sea god,
Thou himself the turbulence and the quake,
Thou that ride the sea like the olden Lord,
Who can then hold their ships from thy take?
The goddess wantonly at thy bequeathed seat,
When the sea is like a ground to thy feet;

One more night with thou I will sail,
And traverse the world as thy seer,
The emblem of skull over bones we hail
Till the sea return to its sanity from fear,
We shall stir our oars as virile horse;
As thy ship swam swiftly on this uncharted course,



“Ode to the Sea god by Olorunleke Odubote”
