Ocean of Love
The waters wide are vast and broad, stretching endlessly beyond horizons known;
While surface ships ply many miles, over the ocean's spacious seas.
But this watery breadth, such a grand expanse, is only superficial skin.
A few prefer
To plunge the depths,
And seek the wonders
Of the deep.
They long to go
Where few have gone,
Exploring the vastness
Of the deep.
They dive down
Toward the greater realm,
Penetrating the ecstacy
Of the deep
For them, profound pleasure lies
In the intimate depths
Where secrets of the heart are shared.
Surface beauty
May be a glorious treat
But treasures await
Within the deep.
Deep within the heart's true beat
Deep within the mind's pure seat
Deep within the body's passionate heat
Deep where two souls
Become one, complete...
Here, my lover and I shall meet
And with arms embraced
Fall gently asleep.
