Archipelago

Enfusion; thus interlocked, intangibly 'tween a benighted reign and the newburn sky, now arise,
For we must embark posthaste 'pon predication of I, no end to you, no start, a-bonden geminis.
Jewelblue foamscape form has seized your imagination, hidden for lifetimes, now to you shown,
And you've recollection of seeing splashing insistence of the wavefronts as memory all your own.
No treasures metallic nor shinegreed precious can I offer your affection; mine are modest means,
'Tis the finest measure of whatever abundance afforded me that I summoned these oceanic scenes.

'Twas beneath warmlit summer's scintillating blue my gaze worshipped you, dainty feet teasing sand,
Carefully scouring abbreviated pathways we traversed and collecting seashells washed 'pon the land.
Beauteous face enpinkened by radiance both ultraviolet and overjoyed; my lady's now seen the sea,
Perhaps you were as swept away by the sight of such majesty as was I when you first looked at me.
In yonder skies are destinations we frolic in the dreamphase, next step from terra familiaris, faraway,
Guide me to these blessed places as we shoo away the rest of the world, become our other's getaway.

The world, it turns, around us necessity churns, and clocks tick relentlessly, stealing our forever urge,
From some are contented sighs, the remaining plaintive whys to the reality of living's conclusive dirge.
When I anticipated the lifetime remaining to myself, my hermitage disavowed any possibilities of two,
Then proved myself not the island I once believed when surfaced the realization of adoration for you.
We've taken ourselves to somewhere, and unsure of how long we're there, may things remain just so,
Surrounded by boundless, awash in possibilities, isolated from everything upon heartswell archipelago.
