As surely as Atlantis fell
Into the gaping maw of the sea
So I plummeted also in
Landing between the sharp jaws
Of your smile, and did drown,
Like all the downed ships brought low
By the ever-changing storm in your eyes
Cradled in the currents of your arms
And held close, that I may listen in
To the whispering of waves, echoed
By the whalesongs that muffle all other noise
And with a lungful of salt and seawater
I sink into the deep Mariana of your heart
Held in sway by the ocean of you
