BLISS


As you pull me resisting
Pleading helplessly
Kicking but willing
I surrender to your charm
Knowing there is no harm
Drag me down with you at leisure
I submit to your pleasure
Let my resistance slip
On the promise of a trip
Let me savour
The flavour
Of the raptures of the deep
Down into endless sleep
Let me suck you in
Become you as one
And blow you out cuddles
Confuddled bubbles
As we learn to breathe forever
Water together
Exchange oxygen
For nitrogen
Dreams
Unschemed
Swim past the graves
Salute the sailors
You are your Captain Daddy’s girl
Those are pearls
That were his eyes
He winks in surprise
As we float on by
Exchanged salt for sky
No limits to adventures
As we jump skyscrapers
Of coral and bone
Underwater is our new home
Let’s not resurface
To Earth’s harsh face
Ours is liquid living
With dolphins shimmering
Safe beneath the waves
We know we are saved
