water deep and blue
darwin playing games- leap high
splashing having fun

ripples in the 'pool
seeking searching-where are you?
flying through water

nathan kristin 'quest
dad mum sanctuary home
never leave- stay safe


black and blue i see
hated feared- seeking escape
why father, tell me?

hope given- denied
beckoning urging calling
forgive me all this

poked prodded tested
study this, what do you see?
drip drip drip bleeding

depth serenity
suddenly carved out taken
kidnap torture pain

run faster, faster
don't stop- memories close in
outrun them or else

screaming in silence
how could i tell you my past
you can't understand

i wish you knew me
deception evasion lie
hide and seek- find me?


sunshine and playing
false unreal- alas a dream
hide in the darkness

fist flys- damage done
why father why? i'm your son
no apologies


pace the empty halls
thundering footsteps-run hide
wish myself away

his voice is yelling
i huddle down in the dark
muffled silent tears

abandon childhood
grow up fast for survival
exiled to seaquest

a wall stands between
looking on enviously
let me be a part

darwin, bridger, friends
new home under the water
never return- free
