They said it was cold
there, under the waves, rolling
and rolling in eternal motion
never quite quiet
the water had a depth to it
a glazed shine of ice
yet such a sparkling mirror
*
They said it was cold
there, under the waves, rolling
and rolling in eternal motion
still only at pause
to better grasp at your heart
as her song would reach
pulling at your stained soul
*
She remarked upon the
warmth of your voice, the fullness
of your red lips, drawing her smile
crystalline laughter, coral teeth
the clear blue
and tantalizing green
a hue of ocean in a gaze
*
They said it was cold
there, under the waves, rolling
and rolling in eternal motion
