Oh, mirror, mirror
On thy self-reflecting wall
Honestly, tell me
Who’s the greatest of them all
The answer, of course, is me
tanka'd up

Ocean never ends but you know it does
When you’re shipwrecked
And you’re sinking to the bottom
With buried secrets and ***** lies
Where all your philosophy dies
  
You say it never ends
But does it even begin?
Depths of your mind floating on
In a vast sea of golden blue
Convinced like it’s true
Millions of damp miles
And yet it’s all the same
Stick your foot in anywhere
And it won’t get any wetter
  
Predictability is our ability
Boats sinking all around
We call for help, our dying plead
But your neighbor is just as doomed
  
Every often discovering new bodies of land
Inhabited by yourself, another populace
Passing the time by scratching our *****
And killing our fellow man
All fed soothing *******
Only to turn around
And fix me the same meal
  
Feasting upon our misery
Toes becoming wet
Wood disintegrating
No time for towels
Too busy hating
  
This water drowning me
This seaweed strangling me
This ocean burying me
  
And I just want to dive away
And swim with the sharks

Rope withers
Pries us from this
Barricade
This land is not meant
To hold us
This dock is not meant
To keep us
From drifting away

Feel my outstretched hand
And take a leap
But do not fear how deep
This sea may be
For we are deeper

And my arms are stronger
Than a thousand anchors
Glued to your magnet touch
Catching you like the bucket
Catches the rain
Overflowing affection

Like a leaf
Evaporating droplets
Of what makes you you
And subsequences
With what makes me me
Soaking our senses
Within the same waters

Absorb your heart with mine
And jump off this pier
Land into my embrace
Where, together, is always
The most perfect place

Using only each other
As our own balance support
Untie the decomposing rope
And allow our eternal raft
To follow the moon
Into a new vision

Where even the darkest of storms
Hinder us not

Tarnished capsule
Elevates levitation
Animated colors
Projecting importance

Caught in our glow
Blinded by what we create
And the stars do know
Of this beauty we radiate

For we excel this beautiful spell
Higher than the clouds
Deeper than the soul
With your hand in mine
And we are whole

To seal the deal
With this kiss
My lips on yours
Paused in a sky of bliss

I drink your heart
While you consume my mind
And we know, high on our sublime
That this ride has only just begun

— The End —
