Love Beneath The Ocean

Tan body exposes breasts
like stone carved by millennia,
as distant mountains are laid bare
against a rocky shore.
Staring into the warm blue sea
arches on a curved wall beckon
with arms wrapped around my heart.
Imagined mermaid rising from the depths
to touch the soil and breath the immoral air.
Trust nothing but this moment,
then descend exhausted never to return.
Take me to the deepest waters
where no man goes unscathed,
or returns to tell the tale
of love beneath the ocean
and life between the waves.
