Lighthouse of Time
Love you're
the first
lighthouse
with a bright beacon
that shines across
this ocean
Carved into foundations
chiseled within emotions
plastered covered feelings
etched in stone
Climbing each step
a winding staircase
one skyscraper
heading towards
the Heaven's
A lofty
tower built
standing tallest
rising from
out of the ground
one kingdom
White stone faced
marble blocks
cemented with
lead mortar
bonded together
Upon the Cupola
a great
fire burns
lighting across,
the ocean
warmly carrying
for miles
one curved
mirrored soul
searching waters
Lights into
a hot beam
setting this ship
on passions fire
desire in this ocean
swimming remains
the wonder
of you
A torso
of one woman
living in
the heart
Beating drums
within this deep
blue sea
trembles hotly
ablaze on fire
Loving until
the end
of time
sealed with
800 hundred
gold kisses
a wonderful treasure

lighthouse of Alexander one wonder
800 TALENTS equal to 3 million in today's money to build
cupola is where the light burned
stories were told that the light could burn approaching ships
first lighthouse a skyscraper
Ptolemy 11 carved his inscription into the foundations then covered it with plaster
built with marble stone faced blocks bedded in lead plaster
a large curved mirror of polished bronze projected the fires light into a beam also said to be a weapon when concentrated with the sun setting ships ablaze some distance away
could also be used as a mirror that magnified images in the distance
