i want effortless understanding
and constant persual.

answer all my questions
  on the ocean's floor,
before i even ask them.
craft a seaweed bed for me,
pillars of coral on each corner
bestow sharks upon me for pets and for protection

chase me into the deepest waters
where no sunlight can bully itself into our eyes
where we can find hot lava oozing from cracks in the earth's crust
let us sing aquan lullabies to glowing fishes,
find me with echolocation when i wander too far

seduce me with garlands of seashells and pearls
with silky ropes of kelp, because
if you wind those thin shells and nacre spheres into my hair
if you bind your hands before me with kelp
if you speak the secret words that i can't tell you
then we shall live on the oceans floor,
lolling in lazy cozy sleep between pink  pillars 25 feet high
as our sharks patrol the waters around us
