Our Secret Atlantis Found

We found Atlantis
you…
and…
I

Your fingers
like magic…
bathymeters recording
all contours
of me…
all depths of me

leaving me breathless…
leaving me baryphonic

A bascule
only attempts
to record our love…
only both ends
sink deeply into
the deepest depths
of the sea…

Everything
about us…
our love…
is bathyorographical

The sea keeps her secrets
and so do we...
I know where to find
you…
your bathysmal soul...

Atlantis is not lost
it is found only to us…
Our secret spot
where you found my bathypelagic heart
brought back to life
by the rhythmic
tides of the sea
her sweet endless berceuse

The bathythermograph does not lie…
the water temperatures rise
we run hot together
you and I……
We will tell them
not to worry
it is only global warming

and the Sea
she will keep our secret
safe in Atlantis

Poseidon will walk me down the aisle
Proteus will wed us
and Arion will carry us away
to the long forgotten geographical
center of the sea…

We will honeymoon and make love
in beautiful gardens
of glowing benthos
Where no one will know
No one will see…
The Sea…
She knows our secret
its safe in her keeping
We found Atlantis
a sunken world
known only to us

Our secret Atlantis
where our love is benthic
Where we happily drown in each other
