I got veins,

To inquire from waves,

This conversation with Tsunami tides,

Keeps me consciously unconscious,

*********************************

I kicked off 'How did this all begin',

*********************************

'I used to live quietly,

Extremely deep in my ocean-soul',

********************************

'Keep narrating, I'd like to hear'

*****************************

'What around me were, Tectonics,

Tectonics screwed me over,

I was suffering,

Ebbs and flows, strange and forceful,

It all starts with a tectonic,

I never wanted to be so',

**********************

'You are welcome to be more specific!',

************************************

'Contractions and expansions,

Me, the poor waves,

d' been adhering to the punishing rules,

I popped into the state of Tsunami,

Then it's uncontrollable,

Out of my hands,

My velocity and power,

The whole is immensely high,

I was driven until I assaulted the people,

Forgive me, I wasn't the root',

****************************

'Me, the inspector,

I was always listening,

I've grasped some life phases

Are indeed the life changers,

It's tricky to survive once in a while,

Destiny plays games with us,

You know what, did tectonics live alone?

No, they had each other,

If you were smart,

Just to creep and rinse into

Your indeed friend, earth's crust,

This wouldn't be this devastating,

Oh wave, this was slave!

    This is a unique creative concept - a conversation between human & tsunami. The way you used the fragmented structure for this poem mimics the waves - so goes along with the picture presented. Really Creative Esala!

    Whoa, this feels like a deep philosophical debate between nature and fate. But man, that last line?—that hits different.
