swimming in
the slim deep sea
you hold me
as I
behold thee
swimming in that deep dark sea
as moon bright mist
above us swirls
and on the shoreline
seals stir
beneath
the moist deep
dank dark air
a bark is heard
and 'neath the cliff
a shadow moves
so shy that you
and I
will ever this remember
islands in the sea
phantasms
chimera
cloud cast shadows
on languid sea
yet
so real
to you
and me
