The lost city
hidden in the sea
Once a bustling empire
so devastating
As the salty waters
engulf on thee
Masked ships
deteriorating statues
A place so desolate
only gills can reach
Breathtaking
The sites you would see
in this lost city
hidden under the sea
Patiently waiting
to uncover thee
Past lives
Have we forgotten thee?
In it you'll find
buried in the sand
A fish's playground
was once so grand
Timeless moments
Bottled and shipwrecked
to an ocean so lonely
it can't be wept
Thousands of years
and this lost city screams
Unveil me
For I've been patient
You will see
So graciously
it pleas
come find me

As the story goes
Only the young men know
These secrets that follow thee
This deceit that reckons thee
A forbidden passion
Reserved in rations
These secrets beckon she

For all the ships
In all the seas
Only the young men know
The dreams she used to
dream
So it seems
You deny her screams
That ever longing need

Only the young men know
The story that is told
She once had a lover
Then she carried four other
If only did you know?
That her love soon bode

Only the young men know
These secrets that heed thee
These secrets that follow thee
Into the deepest of trees
A hurt, so threatening

Only the young men know
What her future holds
And so, she must know
How much promise it hold's
If only could she learn

Lost In the mist of the night
She soon earns her light
Shinning so bright
No longer afraid
of what lurks in the night

And as the story goes
Only the young men know
These secrets that live in thee

Months of anticipation
thousands of minutes waiting
only seconds ticking on the clock
Speckles of light
shine from your eyes
as you come closer
your lips touch mine
so gentle and sweet
passion turns to hunger
and your touch makes me quiver
distant memories of butterflies
enter my mind
dazed and confused
our bodies entwine
into a sweet symphony
of sweat and desire
your body atop mine
moves so graciously about
your hands so smooth and strong
time seems to move all wrong
protected like a wall
you grasp me tight
never did we wish to end this night
a kiss goodbye and off you went
taking a piece of me with you forever to keep
I long to feel your touch
night after night
but you and me
cannot be
we're a million years too late
and time is not the same as fate
we were destined to meet
but this love can never be

Life eventually gets the best of us
And our souls can finally rest
What we do here on earth
Forever be it blessed
