I Love You

Magnitude, the depth of sleeping oceans 
where bright eyed creatures, unseen by 
man, prisoners of prehistory, 
denizens of deep emotions, 
swim a primeval mystery 
unsolved and undefined.

Sometimes they caper crazed and blind, 
lashing with trident tongues or 
languorously wrapping suckered limbs, 
engulfing the nerves, the much maligned 
attract of secret wicked things, 
the smoke of silt and dread.

And still immortal words are said 
to motorise the mouths and eyes of 
men and women ruthlessly 
at loggerheads on ocean beds, 
"I love you" spoken ceaselessly 
in the timeless seas of time.
