Love's Dilemma

In shallow waters you still long for your lover,
Beneath the body arrogance there is turmoil,
A pugnacious attitude towards adventure;
To live or let die her passion within the sea:

The ruffled tresses linger onto your anguished face,
Shadow your plight as you move seeking disaster,
Unzipped from the warmth of an engravers cocoon;
You tempt the very soul of the paparazzo.

Destruction maybe the beginning of a new life;
But the path you choose defines you next rebirth.
