Sea of Love

beneith the phantoms of the deep a wretched grave yard where love sleeps all but forgotten loves of time covered in fiction, rumors and lies decay did whither their werry bones and unrest bothered their hearts left alone suicide and murderous mist malace and for thought of a poisonous kiss for each they sailed the sea of love clear skies and ocean above below lost vessels that once rode the sea smothered by waters that pulled down deep trusting the ship they begged to sail where calm sea's often become strong gails and tossed are sailer to and fro from the bow to down below suffering what they didn't know the sea's anger and ability to show Is there a god to which can be prayed? where is Poseidon, can he be paid? for safe passage through the rocks take from us this state of shock where every wave would cover thee and silence prayers and every plea certian distruction awaits this ship being torn asunder by natures grip thunder peels across dark skys like a truth it is a light but darkness denies it's pressence still lightening cannot change the will where fears would scare, the sailor steals tighten the ropes secure the sails love demands the highest price certian risk and sacrifice the abyss has claimed a myriad of lives who's death for love was satisfied sailing on the sea of love glimpsing the phantoms from up above a sad sanity can calm the sea and then rage takes over and destroys what be we cannot hide from love what love see's the bigger the ocean the deeper the sea the deeper the love the bigger the greif no matter who or what they be the ship is the hostage of the sea you can sink in it's depths or to its shore flee there is always a risk when you tempt the sea and there is always a grave waiting for thee
