The Allure of the Tempest (1st Edit)

[carassiusauratus]

there is magnificence in her purity
in her power and dominance
and despite the risks inherent
there are those who lack the sense

to steer a course clear and safe
from the tempest and her mystical allure
adventurers, most commonly sailors,
to the fitful fury are drawn nice alliteration

to the twirling wisps of atmosphere
that succumb to the tempest's demand
to the enticing energy that draws them close
'till they join in the frantic dance

a tumultuous twirling of one's senses
apprehension that grows in one's core
the presence of awe-inspiring power
near the gateway to the evermore what exactly is this gateway to evermore? or is it just for the rhyme?

yet those so inclined sail from tranquil seas
toward pummeling main veiled in foreboding mist
compelled by an irrepressible attraction
that disregards the clearly-evident risks

from calm to calamity
from security to inevitable threat
from routine and ordinary
to a wager far more than he should bet [/b] very nice [/b]

what provokes a man to entertain the notion
that he could join with the tempest and survive
or could it be that the lure of the tempest The word tempest is starting to get repetitive
provides the moments he feels most alive?

I thought it was well done. I'm a little jealous.
